.DISCUSSION...
Low mixing heights and light winds will maintain poor burning
conditions this afternoon. Rain will move into the area late
afternoon into the evening, perhaps briefly changing to snow or a
rain/snow mix overnight - especially north of a Rushville to Paris
line where a couple spots could even see some light snow
accumulations on elevated and grassy surfaces. The same locations
will have around a 60-80% chance of a wetting rain (i.e., more than
a tenth of an inch), while further south chances taper to 20-40%.
Tomorrow, ventilation will be much better as mixing deepens and
northwest winds gust over 30 mph at times, but isolated (20%
coverage) snow showers will be around. Continued deep mixing will
perpetuate good ventilation Monday afternoon despite slightly less
blusterous winds (20-25 mph gusts).
