.DISCUSSION...
A cold front moving through the area this morning will bring
some rainfall to the mountains, though a widespread wetting
rainfall is not expected elsewhere. Scattered light showers may
reach the Piedmont, but only minuscule totals are expected for
those that do see rain. Behind the front, gusty northwest winds
will continue through Sunday, with gusts of 20-30 mph consistently
each day. Min RH will remain modest across the mountains over
50% through the weekend as rain/snow showers will be possible
due to much colder air moving in. For the Piedmont, Min RH values
will be in the 30-40% range Friday through the weekend as dry
conditions persist.
Dry weather returns for all by early next week, with a gradual
warming trend. Winds will be light, but as temperatures return
to the 50s/60s late next week, Min RH values fall to 20-30%.
