.DISCUSSION...

A frontal boundary will remain situated over the Carolinas through 
the weekend, and easterly flow will keep moisture across the 
southern half of the area, though some drier air is working its way 
into northern portions of the area. Showers will be confined mostly 
south of the area today, but a few stray showers may develop over
the mountains later. Chances for scattered showers and possible 
storms increase Friday and continue through the weekend, with the 
highest chances over the mountains. Plenty of cloud cover for the 
next day or two and cooler air will keep temperatures below normal
through the weekend. Overall, fire weather concerns are little to
none at this time.
