.DISCUSSION...
High pressure should build across the Appalachian Mountains later 
this evening and keep conditions dry throughout the rest of this 
week. A northwest breeze may gust up to 20 mph this afternoon, 
but it should dissipate overnight. Light winds and moderating 
temperatures are expected for the remainder of this week. The next 
chance of wetting rain may not arrive until Sunday and beyond due 
to a disturbance in the Gulf.
