.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will continue to build into the Southeast U.S. through
early next week. This will lead to drier and warmer conditions. Low
level moisture will be slow to decrease with minimum relative
humidity levels in the 40 to 50 percent range. The next chance for
precipitation should be during the middle of next week, however
any amounts would be on the light side.
Tonight: Patchy fog is possible.
