.DISCUSSION...

Unseasonably mild through the week with a chance of showers 
Wednesday night into Thursday.

An expansive area of offshore high pressure will dominate the
weather through mid-week, delivering an unseasonably warm and
spring-like stretch of early November weather. 

Low pressure will move through the Upper Midwest and into the
Great Lakes Region by Thursday, with the accompanying surface
front bringing a chance of rain showers to the area Wednesday
night and Thursday. The best chance for showers will be along 
and west of the Blue Ridge (amounts 0.25 to 0.50), moisture 
along the front thinning as it crosses the mountains and 
leaving areas east of the Blue Ridge with less than a quarter of
an inch of wetting.
