.DISCUSSION...

A disturbance passing along the Ohio River Valley this afternoon 
and evening will draw deeper moisture northward overtop the 
cooler northeasterly air hugging the surface this morning. As 
such, showers and a few thunderstorms will move from west to east 
across the region beginning shortly before sunset through the 
overnight period of tonight. Confidence in widespread wetting 
rain is high through Saturday morning, though rainfall totals are 
forecasted to be 0.25" or less for most. Widespread clouds today 
will help maintain minimum relative humidity values in the 50 to 
70 percent range across the Piedmont today, and in the 70 to 85 
percent range across the mountains.
