.DISCUSSION...
Upper low will continue to slowly move out of the area with
chances for rain today and into tomorrow, although more isolated
activity is expected tomorrow. As a the low departs, drier air
will push into the forecast area with high pressure ridging into
the area leading to generally light winds and low chances for rain
through the weekend.

Tonight: Fog is not expected.
