.DISCUSSION...
Expect dry weather today, outside a rogue isolated storm
over the NC mountains. A tropical system will make inroads 
into the SC coast by Sunday spreading rain chances
up our way. Should see increased chances for showers
and storms for much of next week as well as we 
return to a more humid pattern with a front nearby.
