.DISCUSSION...

Most of the service area received a wetting rainfall last night 
into early this morning. Totals were highest along & west of I-77, 
where at least 0.75" fell, with amounts then tapering down further 
east to less than 0.25" falling along the crest of the Blue Ridge 
and points eastward.
