...HIGH DISPERSIONS POSSIBLE MID WEEK...
.DISCUSSION...
A hot and humid airmass will continue to support scattered to
numerous thunderstorms each day. The driest days this week look to
be Tuesday and Wednesday before moisture again increases late in the
week. This will be due to a stronger northeast flow that will have
the potential to also create conditions favorable for higher
dispersions. There are no significant fire weather concerns at this
time.
Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
