After a good soaker yesterday (see rainfall totals above)… we are still dealing with light precipitaiton across the Miami Valley this morning.  Fog, mist and drizzle have all been reported.  And Live Doppler 2X is even tracking some sprinkles through Darke, Preble and Montgomery Counties.  It looks like the low-level moisture will hold strong until the afternoon hours, when we should start to see some improvement.  Possibly even some peeks of sunshine later today. 

High pressure is building in at the surface:

That usually means drier conditions, but not today.  We have to look at more than just one level of the atmosphere!  Up at about 18,000 feet, we are still in a trough… which means clouds/unsettled weather (and cooler than average temps):

So as we get into the afternoon, and the sun tries to peek out a little… this could help fire up more showers and thunderstorms.  Even into the evening!  Overnight we should dry out and see partial clearing.  There could be more patchy fog around Friday morning.  But we are in for a pretty nice Friday afternoon… with highs back in the 80s again!  Come on already, Summer!
