    Fragmented leftover showers & isolated storms are all but gone today. High pressure and drier air now beginning to build into the area. Things stay mostly cloudy today and overnight. A few mountain showers may occur overnight. Lows will stay in the upper 50s/low 60s with the cloud cover.

    Lots of cooler air will be mixing into the area on a northwest upper air flow. Will see some patchy valley fog & low level clouds tonight into Saturday morning. But plenty of sunshine is on deck tomorrow. So highs will be right around 80. Higher elevations may see a brief raindrop associated with the northwest flow. Elsewhere, weather will be ideal! Saturday night will be coolest in a while. Lows will dip into the low 50s. Should make for nice camping weather down at Wapocoma camping in Romney for the South Branch Bluegrass Festival!

     But plan on packing the tent up early Sunday. Dry forecast is now eroding faster than previsouly expected. Respectable shortwave disturbance will move through the area Sunday afternoon/evening. Main show looks to ramp up showers and a few storms Sunday night & into Monday with frontal passage. System will exit north of our area by Monday night. Leftover showers are possible Tuesday. We'll dry out again by Wednesday.
