240 PM EDT Mon Apr 15 2024
.DISCUSSION...Dry air and light winds expected overnight into
Tuesday with a modest inversion developing by Tuesday morning.
Little change in surface moisture is expected for Tuesday. Winds
Tuesday will remain light all day, gusts only to around 10-12 mph,
and will steadily turn from west-southwesterly to southerly by the
evening. Moisture will then begin to return as southerly winds
strengthen for Wednesday with gusts over 20 mph expected. An
approaching front will turn winds back out of the west-southwest
by Thursday and precip chances increase. As the front slowly moves
through, rain chances increase further for Friday and winds will
be highly variable as the front stalls over the area into the
weekend.
Fog potential: Fog not expected tonight.
