.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers are forecast to develop today across the
southern Midlands and CSRA. High pressure will build in from the
north Sunday and Monday, allowing cooler and drier air to
overspread the area. Breezy conditions are possible in the
afternoon both days as well, with gusts around 20 mph possible.
By midweek, clouds return and chances of light rain increase again
but precipitation looks light at this time.
Fog potential tonight: Low, but patchy fog is possible toward
daybreak mainly near rivers and lakes.
