FORECAST AREA UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING. BY THE END OF THE DAY THE
FRONT WILL BE ALONG THE VIRGINA/NORTH CAROLINA BORDER WITH THE MOST

MOIST AIRMASS AND THE GOOD SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT THROUGH FRIDAY

MTNS. WITH MORE SUNSHINE SATURDAY...RAISED HIGHS TEMPERATURES
INTO THE MID 70S IN THE NORTHWEST TO THE MID 80S IN THE PIEDMONT.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE WITH CONVECTION AND LOW CLOUDS.

THE FORECAST AREA...ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY.

BUFKIT CONTINUES TO SHOW ELEVATED INSTABILITY EVEN AS FAR NORTH AS
LYNCHBURG BUT THE PROBABILITY IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO EVEN INCLUDE
THUNDER IN THE TAF FOR NOW.

NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE LOWER CEILINGS IN COMBINATION WITH
WIDESPREAD MODERATE RAIN TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN A PROLONGED PERIOD
