.DISCUSSION...

A cold front has pushed through the region today and will allow a
much cooler, drier airmass to work into the area tonight through
the weekend. Strong northeasterly transport winds and deeper
mixing will provide good dispersion Friday and Saturday. Chances
of wetting rains return to part of west Kentucky on Sunday
afternoon and across the entire area Monday into Tuesday.
