319 AM EDT THU AUG 13 2026
DISCUSSION
ASIDE FROM A FEW SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS MORNING, IT'S SHAPING UP
TO BE A DRY DAY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. DURING THE EVENING,
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE A 30-50% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
DROP SOUTH OUT OF SOUTHERN INDIANA AND BRING LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL. OUTSIDE OF STORMS, LIGHT TRANSPORT WINDS AND MODEST
MIXING WILL LIMIT VENTILATION TODAY, THOUGH MIXING HEIGHTS WILL
INCREASE AS HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.
