.DISCUSSION...Humidity levels will remain high today. Cooler air and
drier air will then slowly advance into the area Wednesday into
Friday as strong high pressure expands across the Great Lakes region
from the north. An elevated frontal boundary across far southern
Lower Michigan will however support continued rain chances Wednesday
into Thursday before much drier air arrives by Friday.
