.DISCUSSION...
Morning low clouds across the northern Midlands should eventually
burn off by late morning but will delay temperatures from warming
as quickly as other areas. The upper ridge will weaken a bit today
and this combined with abundant low level moisture and a
destabilizing atmosphere should yield scattered convection across
the Midlands, shifting the focus to the western and northern
Midlands this evening. Scattered convection continues on Wednesday
across the western Midlands as a frontal boundary approaches
from the west. Increasing confidence in impacts from heavy rain
as a potential tropical system moves into the southeastern US by
Thur/Fri as a hurricane. Right now, heavy rainfall and gusty winds
look to be the primary concerns with that system.
Tonight: Patchy fog is unlikely outside of fog prone locations.
