.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions can be expected through Thursday. A dry cold front
moves through on Wednesday, with only a short-lived wind shift to
northwesterly noticed. Our next chance for rain occurs on Friday,
when another cold front moves through accompanied by a few
showers and storms. Additional light rain chances may arrive later
in the weekend. A significant cool down is expected early next
week with a hard freeze forecast Sunday night. Transport winds
will remain elevated over the coming days, but limited mixing will
lead to primarily poor dispersion each day. The lowest RH`s are
forecast on Thursday afternoon, with values in the 30 to 40% range
mainly east of the Mississippi River.
