.DISCUSSION...

Moisture will gradually increase today into the weekend as a 
cold front approaches from the Great Lakes region. Coverage 
of showers and thunderstorms today will be isolated to widely 
scattered, however coverage will increase for Saturday as the 
cold front draws closer. Despite smoke from wildfires in 
Canada passing across the region, strong heating today will 
allow for minimum RH values this afternoon to fall as low as 
30 percent across the Piedmont, and hold above 35 percent 
over the mountains. Winds today will remain less than 10 mph 
areawide.
