Active week…

We had some rain around the area Sunday late afternoon/evening.  Here is a picture sent in by Dot Baker, of a thunderstorm in Champaign County:

Those showers and thunderstorms actually set us up for fog this morning.  We had a lot of moisture around, thanks to that rain.  Skies partially cleared overnight… and we didn’t have much wind at all.  These are the perfect conditions for fog formation… and early this morning, visibilities were down to a quarter of a mile in spots.  Rob Lunsford sent me this pic from Phillipsburg, in Northwest Montgomery County:

But as the sun came up, it helped to burn away the fog, and we have a pretty nice day in the works!  The pattern this season has been a stationary front to our south… and that is, again, what we have today:

I think it’s far enough south that the rain will stay away today… but there could be something isolated in our extreme southern counties (Butler, Warren, Clinton).  The front will lift a bit farther north on Tuesday… and an upper level disturbance will move in as well… increasing our rain chances.  The week won’t be a wash-out… but a little active, again, with the front nearby.
