DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF DRY CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FORECAST

COLD FRONT. WHILE THE CHANCE OF RAIN IS LOW, THE FRONT WILL SHIFT
WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO THE WEST BY EVENING. WINDS MAY ALSO BE
BREEZY AT TIMES IN THE AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS TO 20-25 MPH
POSSIBLE. THE WINDS SHIFT FURTHER AT NIGHT AND SHOULD BE OUT OF
THE NORTHEAST BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM
APPROACHES. CLOUDS INCREASE SATURDAY NIGHT WITH RAIN POSSIBLE
TOWARDS DAYBREAK, ESPECIALLY IN THE CSRA. SUNDAY AND MONDAY ARE
COOLER AND CLOUDY WITH PERIODS OF RAIN POSSIBLE. THE BEST CHANCE
OF SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL DURING THE TIMEFRAME WILL BE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN MIDLANDS AND CSRA. DRY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES.
