.DISCUSSION...
A relatively drier airmass will shift into the region from the
east through this week, with minimum daytime RHs around 30 percent
possible Thursday through Saturday. Rain chances will also
decrease through this time frame. Otherwise, it will remain quite
hot with light wind outside of any isolated thunderstorms. Patchy
fog cannot be ruled out early this morning, but no widespread or
dense fog is anticipated. Fog appears less likely on Wednesday
morning.
