...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 938 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024

Quiet evening across the Four State as temperatures begin to drop
into the lower 70's. A few light showers are present on the KSHV 
radar along a boundary cutting through southern Arkansas, but 
should not amount to much, and may not even be hitting the ground
due to how light the reflectivity returns truly are. Beyond that,
conditions remain tame. No major changes are needed with this 
update as the afternoon package remains on track.
