.DISCUSSION...Surface high pressure will remain over the area
tonight, then it is expected to move off into the Atlantic on
Wednesday. Winds generally light and variable overnight, then
turning more out of the south on Wednesday through Thursday on
the backside of the surface high. Moisture will begin to increase
through the end of the week, but mostly dry weather will still
prevail into Thursday before a weak cold front begins moving
towards the area from the north. Isolated showers possible on
Thursday over the northern Midlands, then more scattered convection
becomes possible into the weekend.
Fog potential for tonight: Patchy fog is possible in fog prone
locations.
