.DISCUSSION...
Most of central Illinois will remain dry into tonight with precip
chances moving back in from the southwest Thursday. Winds will be
light and variable tonight. RH levels are expected to remain high
tomorrow under extensive cloud cover and very low mixing heights.
These low mixing heights and light transport winds will result in
poor vent rates again on Thursday and Friday.
