.DISCUSSION... 

Northwesterly winds this morning through late afternoon will 
gust from between 20 mph across the Piedmont, to locally as 
high as 35 mph across the mountains, particularly along the 
mountain ridges. Sunshine intermixed with passing clouds and 
downsloping with allow RH values to fall into the 20 to 25 
percent range across the foothills and Piedmont of northern 
North Carolina. With temperatures again rising above freezing 
nearly areawide today, lingering snow cover will go through 
another round of melting this afternoon, with refreeze tonight.
