.DISCUSSION...
Widespread wetting rainfall associated with Hurricane Helene 
will make for low fire weather concerns through the weekend. 
The storm will bring wind gusts from the east-southeast on 
Friday ranging from 25 to 35 mph across the Piedmont, ramping 
up to locally as high as 60 mph across the higher mountain 
ridges. Combined with wet soils, the gusty winds will result 
in scattered downed trees across the mountains. After the main 
bands of rain exit the region on Friday afternoon, scattered 
showers and thunderstorms will remain in the region through 
at least next Tuesday.
