344 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A wet pattern will remain in place through today. There may be a
brief lull this afternoon before showers resume this evening and
taper off overnight. Drier weather returns for the weekend before
another weather system brings more rain chances Monday into
Tuesday. The combination of overcast skies, rainfall and light
winds will lead to poor dispersion today. Minimum relative
humidity values will be above 70% today, becoming 40-70%
Saturday, and 40-60% on Sunday.
