.DISCUSSION...

The remnants of Hurricane Isaias will bring widespread 
rainfall to the area today and rain will continue into Sunday.
Gusty winds are expected today and into Sunday morning, which
could bring down some trees and limbs. Dewpoints will drop by
early next week behind the passage of a cold front, but after a
weekend of abundant rainfall, there are no fire weather concerns 
at this time.
