.DISCUSSION...

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER WASHINGTON
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE AIRMASS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BE UNSTABLE.
AS A RESULT...EXPECT A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER THE THREAT FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS FRIDAY EVENING WILL END AROUND DARK. MOST
STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WETTING RAINS...SO NO FIRE
WEATHER HEADLINES ARE PLANNED RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER THERE WILL BE A
RISK OF GUSTY WINDS TO 50 MPH AND HAIL TO ONE-HALF INCH IN
DIAMETER WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
WARM...AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS.
