.DISCUSSION...

A disturbance arriving this evening is expected to trigger a
broken line of showers and a few thunderstorms during the 
evening, which will pass across the Piedmont. Wetting rainfall 
totals ranging from less than 0.10 to locally 0.50 inch are 
possible. The next potential for widespread wetting rain will
return late Monday night as a line of thunderstorms arrives from 
the north, and again on Tuesday, with the redevelopment of storms 
across the area in the afternoon.
