.DISCUSSION...

Daily showers/storms will continue throughout the upcoming week
due to a stalled frontal boundary that remains draped across the 
Mid-Atlantic. Above normal moisture will persist, allowing 
additional rainfall of 0.75 to 2.00". This will keep fire weather 
in check, as the weather pattern will remain unchanged for at 
least the next 5-7 days.
