.DISCUSSION...
Moisture return will begin overnight and the RH will not drop as low as
it has the past few days, however, fire conditions remain tenuous.
Another Fire Danger Statement will likely be issued for part or all of
our NC zones for Saturday.

Mid-level cloudiness moving in tonight will lower towards daybreak with
the possibility of a low cloud deck briefly developing around sunrise.
This moisture will likely lift somewhat after sunrise, but increasing
moisture will move in through the day Saturday so expect additional
cloud cover to develop ahead of the system approaching for Sunday.
