.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions are forecast to persist through Sunday night as 
high pressure remains in control of the weather pattern. Sunday 
afternoon minimum relative humidity will remain above 30 percent
across the region, with surface winds holding below 10 mph. The 
next chance for wetting rainfall will be Monday, more so across 
northwest North Carolina, as a weak disturbance passes across 
the region. Rainfall totals are forecast to remain less than a 
quarter inch for most, but will be locally higher if any storms 
develop.
