.DISCUSSION...

A stray sprinkle is possible this afternoon mainly along I-64. The
next chance of a wetting rain does not arrive until Tuesday when a
cold front approaches the region. Poor dispersion today will
improve on Saturday with an increase in southerly transport winds
combined with deep layer mixing. Humidity levels will fall into
the 30 to 45% range each afternoon.
