.DISCUSSION...

Wind speeds continue to diminish this afternoon as high pressure 
approaches from the west, with gusts across the mountains in the 
20 to 25 mph range, and across the Piedmont in the teens. These 
higher gusts will fall off to less than 10 mph by around sunset. 

Rain chances will increase during late Tuesday morning into late
afternoon, mainly north of Highway 460, with the highest 
chances found in the vicinity of Interstate 64 in Greenbrier 
County, where as much as 0.50" is possible locally in the
western half of the county by sunset. Given that moist air
associated with the low has to overcome the dry air currently 
in place, rainfall amounts will taper down significantly
to only a few hundredths of an inch toward Highways 460 and 220
by sunset.
