...Low Relative Humidity This Afternoon...
.DISCUSSION....Surface high pressure has crested over the central
Appalachians earlier this past night which will now allow a
strong warm up to commence. Clouds increase again this morning as
an upper level disturbance approaches and then brings a small
chance for a passing shower during the afternoon and early
evening. After a dry and breezy day on Friday, better rain chances
arrive over the weekend.
