 .DISCUSSION...
 A moisture laden system coming out of the Gulf was bringing 
 beneficial rain showers into the area early this morning. An 
 approaching cold front will will keep the showers going this 
 afternoon and tonight, with embedded thunderstorms also possible.
 
 All told, rainfall amounts could exceed an inch across much of the 
 area, helping to squash drought conditions festering across portions 
 of the area. However, locally higher amounts of upwards of two 
 inches could lead to localized flash flooding, particularly in urban 
 and poor drainage areas.
 
 By Wednesday, the cold front will have pushed southeast of the 
 central Appalachians, ushering in a much cooler and drier airmass 
 from northwest to southeast during the day.
 
 The high will stick around for the balance of the week, with dry and 
 seasonably cool weather. The lowest low temperatures will be found 
 in the sheltered valleys within and near the mountains, where 
 temperatures could drop into the low 30s including below freezing, 
 even into the upper 20s in the notoriously coldest spots, leading 
 to a risk of frost at least Thursday and Friday mornings, when 
 isolated instances of a freeze cannot be ruled out.
