.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 311 AM CDT Tue Sep 17 2024

Clear skies and little to no wind can be found across the Mid-
South as of 3 AM. A soggy surface has allowed Dense Fog (<1/4 mi) to
develop in portions of the Mid-South. Fog development will
continue as well as any current fog will continue to lower
visibilities. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 AM this
morning. Proceed with caution and allow for extra time on your
morning commute.

A calm and quiet pattern is expected this week for the Mid-South
under an Omega Blocking pattern. An upper level ridge is
sandwiched between what was once PTC8 and a deep trough over the
Rockies. N/NNE flow aloft will keep temperatures just below normal
today (in the 80s). The upper ridge will intensify over the next
few days resulting in temperatures to inch warmer each day through
the week. Under the influence of this high pressure, skies will
be clear with light winds each night supporting fog development.
Thankfully, the surface will slowly dry out each day with sunshine
and should allow fog visibilities to not deteriorate as much the
following nights. Our next chance of rain does not look to come
until next week.
