A foggy start today as low level moisture is high enough to cause saturation at the surface. The fog should dissapate by 8-9 AM as temps increase. Today will feature a chance for some isolated heavy rainfall, although not widespread. We have a weak frontal boundary draped across the state that will act as a forcing mechanism to generate lift and showers and the atmosphere warms. PW values are quite high (2.3-2.5) and upper-level winds are low, which would suggest thunderstorms that then to "sit" in one area and dump large amounts of rain.
Morning Forecast: Today should be slightly warmer across the area with highs in the 92-94F range. Expect a 30% chance of rain across the southern portions of the area, with isolated heavy amounts. Northern Fayette, northern Lamar, and Marion counties are less likely to recieve rainfall, with a 20% chance in the afternoon.
**Mid-Morning Update** Higher PW values are advecting downstream, meaning a lessened rain chance for the area. N-NW Marion county should remain mostly dry for the remainder of the day, with all other areas falling to 20%. Best chance of rain in the state will be to the South and East of our area.
