.DISCUSSION...
Afternoon humidity will drop into the 35-45% range today. Mixing
heights will struggle to reach 1600-1700 feet in southeast
Missouri, but areas east of the Mississippi River will see
heights of 1900-2400 feet. Light winds today will result in poor
dispersion. Higher humidity and mixing heights above 2000 feet are
expected Friday. Increasing south to southwest winds will result
in fair to good dispersion in southeast Missouri, west Kentucky
and southwest Illinois, while it will again be poor in southeast
Illinois and southwest Indiana.
