.DISCUSSION...
Another afternoon/early evening with scattered showers
and storms is expected today with the first storm of

winds continuing before more widespread shower/storm chances
move in Tuesday through Thursday as a trough and cold front
move through the region. The greatest chance for this activity
will come during the afternoon/evening each day. Winds gradually
shift toward the northwest Thursday and finally the northeast
to east Friday. Daily minimum RH values above 45% continue to
be expected.
Fog Potential Tonight: Low chances for fog overnight.
