.DISCUSSION...

Widespread showers and thunderstorms continue today as a frontal
boundary stalls over the region. This will continue to make ground
leaf litter quite moist across the area, as well as maintain
cloudy conditions across much of the region. Any shower and 
thunderstorm chance looks to be relegated to south of the VA 
border on Thursday; however, chances slowly start to increase back
into Virginia by Friday and Saturday. Overall, there are only low
fire weather concerns at this time given the wetting rains 
expected.
