.DISCUSSION...
Patchy fog will be possible this morning and Thursday morning,
but widespread or dense fog is not anticipated. It will be hot
and humid again today, but a weak cold front will move into the
region tonight into Thursday. This will result in greater rain
chances this afternoon and early evening and again on Thursday
mainly south of I-20. Meanwhile, it will be slightly drier with
lowering rain chances north of I-20. With high humidity today and
increasing rain chances, no fire weather issues are anticipated.
