District Discussion
This morning, a potential for haze exists to reduce visibilities, but should diminish shortly after sunrise. Dry conditions should prevail for Saturday and Sunday. The potential for haze and patchy fog to reduce visibilities exists for Sunday morning. On Monday, a boundary will begin to take shape across the state bringing with it a likely chance of precipitation across the region.
State Discussion
Areas of haze remain a possibility across the eastern portion of the state, but should diminish shortly after sunrise. A weak disturbance is then expected to push through the region on Sunday bringing a slight chance of rain to the northern half of the state. Haze and patchy fog can be expected in the southern and central portions of the state Sunday morning. A better chance of rain is expected to push across the southeastern half of the state on Monday.
