.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions and near to below normal temperatures can be
expected through the end of the week. Afternoon humidity today
will drop into the 30-45% range, with the lowest humidity over
southeast Missouri and the highest over portions of west Kentucky.
Breezy northeast winds and mixing heights above 3500 feet will
result in fair to good dispersion. Similar conditions can be
expected Thursday except with lower wind speeds, resulting in
mostly fair dispersion.
