.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will continue to dominate across the area through midweek with
dry, cool conditions. Light winds expected out of the WNW today up
to 5-8 knots. Minimum RH as low as 25% possible; especially along
and south of I-20 Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Southerly flow
also redevelops through midweek, allowing moisture to return and
increased temperatures. No rainfall is expected over the next
several days, although a chance for rain is possible Thursday and
Friday with an approaching cold front. Accumulations should be
light and chances of rainfall greater than 0.10 inch remain low
(around 30%) at this time. Drier and much cooler conditions with
northwesterly flow will settle in behind the front next weekend.
Fog potential: A few areas of patchy fog will be possible in
sheltered locations, but widespread fog is unlikely.
