.DISCUSSION...
Poor dispersion will be the rule through Friday as a frontal
boundary lingers across the entire area. Winds are expected to
remain fairly light with low to mid clouds and showers and storms
moving into the area. Most locations will see between 1 and 2
inches of rain through Friday, with the heaviest totals in
southeast Missouri and western Kentucky. The rain will move out
of the area over the weekend as high pressure briefly builds
across the Quad State area.
