.DISCUSSION...

Winds will shift from the south today, with gusts increasing 
into the 15 mph to 25 mph range, as a low pressure system 
approaches from the west. The southerly winds will make for 
increasing moisture/humidity compared to the past few days, with 
minimum afternoon relative humidity holding above 40 percent 
under a mixture of clouds and sunshine. A few showers and storms 
will develop along the Blue Ridge with afternoon heating, however 
coverage of wetting rainfall will increase tonight through Sunday 
as an associated cold front approaches from the west. Due to the 
scattered nature of the rainfall, totals through Sunday night may 
range from 0.25 inch to locally 2+ inches under strong thunder-
storm activity.
