conditions today. Morning low clouds with fog will transition to
scattered cumulus by midday. Relative humidity values will fall
into the 35 to 40 percent range in the afternoon. Light and
variable winds shift southeasterly in the evening. Moisture
increases on Friday as a storm system approaches from the west
with late day showers and thunderstorms possible, especially in
the western Midlands and CSRA. Increasing probability of showers
and thunderstorms over the weekend into early next week as a
frontal boundary moves near the area. Temperatures at or above
normal.

Fog potential: Patchy fog possible.
