.DISCUSSION...

A cold front passing across the lower Mid-Atlantic this evening 
will trigger a broken line of showers and a few thunderstorms. 
Winds this afternoon will gust 15 mph to 25 mph from the 
southwest ahead of the front, and will shift from the north- west 
up to 35 mph after frontal passage. Gusty northwest winds are 
expected to continue for most of the day Saturday. Rain showers 
will continue through sunrise Saturday before coming to an end in 
the mountains, lingering until early afternoon in the Piedmont. 
Rainfall amounts will be up to a quarter of a inch in the 
mountains, and a quarter to a half an inch in the Piedmont.

Temperatures plummet Saturday night into Sunday morning, with many
areas in the mountains falling to freezing or a few degrees below,
and a Freeze Watch is in effect for the westernmost mountain
counties.

Increasing chances for scattered rain showers in the Piedmont for
early next week, but dry weather should return for most.
Temperatures moderate towards normal by the middle of the week.
