Partly Cloudy, Warm

Cooler and drier air settled into the area in the wake of yesterday's frontal passage, but patchy areas of fog and a few clouds have kept temperatures in the mid 60s this morning. The fog should rapidly dissipate within the next hour, but we may still see a few mid and high level clouds throughout the morning followed by afternoon cumulus. The surface and upper air flow will be predominantly northwest today due to high pressure in Arkansas and a trough anchored over the Great Lakes, respectively. These two features will keep temperatures below normal and dew points comfortably in the 60s. Look for highs to top out near 86 this afternoon. Clouds should dissipate shortly after sunset, and with dry air and light winds, temperatures should be able to drop near 63 tomorrow morning. We'll warm temperatures back near normal for the next few days before a series of cold fronts affects the weather by late in the weekend and early next week.
