.DISCUSSION...Patchy light fog will be possible Tuesday and
Wednesday mornings but dense fog is not anticipated. Ridging surface
and aloft centered just west of the area will remain dominant through
Wednesday before breaking down the end of the week. This will
lead to a build up of heat and humidity through Wednesday.
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible
mainly for areas along and south of I-20 through Wednesday. Lower
temperatures and greater rain chances are expected for the end of
the week.
