far western portions of the area ahead of a cold front mid-week,
the next best chance for rain areawide currently looks to come
late next Thursday through Saturday as this particular cold front
is advertised to slowly move east through the region. Patchy fog
is possible this morning across the Pine Belt, but isn`t expected
Monday morning.
