.DISCUSSION...

Temperatures increase steadily through the end of the week, with 
very warm temperatures in the 80s/90s expected by Friday across 
the mountains/Piedmont respectively. Dry weather persists 
areawide, with minimum RHs between 20% to 35% for most, and 
between 40% to 50% for some of the mountains over the southern 
Blue Ridge and parts of southeast WV, through Saturday afternoon.
However, winds do remain light. A cold front dips south into the 
region late Sunday, which will bring the next opportunity for 
showers and thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts look to be less than
a third of an inch across the area, and the probability for half 
an inch of rain or greater is less than 15%.
