.DISCUSSION...
A cold front approaching the area this afternoon will pop a few
shower-storms across the area. Winds will shift sharply out of
the north-northeast with much drier air filling in late tonight
into Sunday morning following the frontal passage. Winds slowly
turn out of the southeast by late Monday. Temps and moisture
increase through the end of the week with southeast winds
continuing. The next decent rain chance is next Friday.
Fog Potential through Tonight: Some fog possible overnight in the
CSRA ahead of the front, but should be scoured out by sunrise.
