...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 149 PM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Dry conditions will begin to break down by tomorrow, allowing for
an extended period of stormy weather to work it's way into the
region. Shower and thunderstorm chances will begin to increase
north of I-20, as the region comes under the influence of a cold
front moving through the Midwest. From there, we will more or less
become sandwiched between flow patterns for the rest of the
short-term, containing the rest of the rain chances to our north.
However, included in this "flow sandwich" will be a shift in the
flow aloft back to the south. This will allow for temperatures to
warm into the mid-80s in some locations over the next few days,
before temperatures really begin to increase towards the weekend.
