KEY MESSAGE 1...
OUTSIDE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS FROM
MARION TO HOLMES COUNTY, QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED TODAY.
PLEASANT FALL WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS DRY CONDITIONS AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES, WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. OVERNIGHT
LOWS COULD BE A BIT CHILLY, ESPECIALLY TONIGHT WHERE LOWS IN THE
40S ARE EXPECTED. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO A SEE A COUPLE OF
THE LOWER SPOTS DIP BELOW 40 EVEN. NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN IS NOT
UNTIL NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY.

WITH SOME POTENTIALLY FOR LOCALLY ENHANCED WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS
