Issued at 102 AM CDT TUE APR 23 2024

High pressure will slide slowly to the east today and begin to
elongate over the area. Southerly flow returns on the west of the
high and will allow the area to warm into the 70s. The southerly
flow will continue tonight and keep temperatures in the upper 40s
to low 50s wit fair skies. A weak front will move into the region
Wednesday as a 500 mb shortwave moves from the Great Lakes to the
Mid-Atlantic coast. Other than an increase in clouds and a few
showers/storms in the afternoon, this front should hardly be 
noticeable with only a minor temperature gradient from north to 
south across our area.
