This afternoon, a few showers and a non-severe storm or two continue
across eastern areas before the heating of the day allows for any
showers and storm to dissolve as dry air continues to push generally
south into the region. Fog may form mainly in river valleys
overnight. Not anticipating any widespread dense fog formation as
the low level dry air will tend to offset the overall radiational
cooling aspects. Also, the northerly breeze may keep the boundary
layer partially mixed helping to keep any fog that does form to
remain shallow.
Expect a fairly quiet pattern to set up over the balance of this
week through the weekend as the upper air pattern suggests that the
main Westerlies reside well north of the region and a weak Omega
block sets up over the central CONUS Thursday and Friday before
flattening into the upcoming weekend. This should allow for little
airmass change and generally pleasant conditions to remain in place
through the this weekend. Expect highs to remain in the low 80s with
lows in the upper 50s. With dewpoints mainly in the 50s and possibly
low 60s, the overall humidity remains mostly comfortable.

Have seen a bit of shallow fog already come and go at
KTOP, and this should continue to occur at times through
sunrise. Fog should be most prevalent in the river valley
towards KTOP, though could also see a bit at KFOE and KMHK.
Otherwise, clear skies and light winds through the period.
