.DISCUSSION...
Lower temperatures and higher rain chances are expected tomorrow
and Wednesday as weak upper ridging breaks down. Ridging returns
to close out the week resulting in a warming trend and lower rain
chances, though the moisture is high enough to keep the threat of
diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms in the forecast each
day.
Fog Potential: Patchy and focused near bodies of water.
