.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will gradually drift east through the day allowing
the initially light winds to pick up out of the south to
southwest, peaking in the late morning through the afternoon with
gusts around 20 mph. As temperatures warm well into the 70s near
80, deep mixing is expected to be in place which will help
afternoon RH values bottom out around 40 percent or locally lower.
Most of the day will be dry, but by late afternoon, there will be
a chance for showers and storms, mainly along and north of a
Rushville to Bloomington line.
