.DISCUSSION... 
...Dry today and Saturday...
...Wetting rain Sunday into Sunday night...


High pressure was centered over the Ohio Valley and Lower Great
Lakes. This feature will drift overhead during the next 24 hours
promoting strong subsidence and drying before moving offshore.
Northwest winds may still exhibit some gustiness this afternoon but
then go calm at sunset as the pressure gradient fades. Look for 
humidity minimums in the 20-30% range this afternoon and again
Saturday afternoon...with temperatures a little warmer tomorrow 
as opposed to today.

Clouds will be on the increase Saturday with high confidence for 
wetting rain by early Sunday. Areawide rainfall amounts ranging 
from 0.75 to 1.25 are expected as low pressure passes across the 
southern Appalachians.
