.DISCUSSION...
Hot and humid conditions with light winds and daily chances of
thunderstorms will continue through Monday, mainly east of the
Mississippi river. Over the Mark Twain, storms are much less
likely, and mixing heights will increase from 5kft today to 6kft
Sunday and 7kft Monday. As a result, minimum relative humidity
will drop below 50% and possibly as low as 40%, and smoke
dispersion will be fair to good. Hot conditions will continue
over the entire region through the rest of the week, with little
chance of storms.
