.DISCUSSION...



Hot and humid conditions will continue through Monday with daily

shower and storm chances increasing as we head into the weekend

and early next week. A cold frontal passage early in the week

should lead to less humid air by Wednesday. Southwesterly

transport winds will be strongest on Friday, which combined with

deeper mixing will allow fair to good smoke dispersion, 

especially for Illinois and Missouri. Winds become weaker over the

weekend, along with shallower mixing which leads to poor 

dispersion returning.
