.DISCUSSION...

A warm front approaching from the Ohio River Valley will lift
across the Mid-Atlantic today, then linger near the area this
weekend. The warm front will bring more clouds, higher RHs, and
the potential for rain showers later today. Precipitation totals
are expected to be less than one tenth of an inch.

Gusty SW winds are expected this weekend ahead of an approaching
frontal system. However, RH values should be on the increase
each day, giving less of a concern for elevated fire weather
conditions. The next chance for a widespread wetting rain will be
with a cold front on Monday.
