.DISCUSSION...

Drier air and gusty northwest winds continue today,
with cooler temperatures and relative humidity values between
30-50% for most of the region. The lowest RH values will be in
the Piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina.

Periods of northwesterly winds gusting up to 35 mph along and
west of the Blue Ridge will last into early next week. Drier air
and a subtle warming trend will result in RH values between
20-35% by Tuesday afternoon but wind gusts should subside by then.

The next chance of precipitation will be during the latter half
of next week, along with cooler temperatures.
