.DISCUSSION...
High pressure should build across the Appalachian Mountains later
this evening and keep conditions dry throughout the rest of this
week. A northwest breeze may gust up to 20 mph this afternoon,
but it should dissipate overnight. Light winds and moderating
temperatures are expected for the remainder of this week. The next
chance of wetting rain may not arrive until Sunday and beyond due
to a disturbance in the Gulf.
