.DISCUSSION...
An upper level disturbance will move along the northern portion
of the forecast area tonight with a few showers possible
associated with it. Rainfall amounts expected to be light,
however. Tonight, a cold front will move in from the northeast
with high pressure ridging into the area behind leading to mostly
light winds, favoring a NE direction, especially in the northern
portion of the area. Surface high pressure shifts offshore to end
the weekend with relative humidity above 50 percent each day.
While there will be a slight chance of rain Friday night into
Saturday, rainfall amounts once again expected to be limited.
Fog potential tonight: Widespread fog possible along the
front tonight, mainly in the Central Savannah River Area.
