.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather is expected to last until Friday for much of the
area.

100 degrees by later this week for urban areas and the Piedmont.
Minimum RH values will fall into the 30s to 40s percent range for
portions of the area today through Friday. Due to high

Saturday aside from some increased NE winds near 10 mph possible
Friday for part of the Piedmont. Friday looks to see an increased

becoming more widespread for the weekend.
