...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 949 PM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Cloud cover has increased more quickly this evening and to a
greater extent than guidance initially indicated. Updated sky
coverage grids to reflect this, meshing with mostly cloud to near
overcast skies areawide through the night. Incorporating the 
latest CONSShort guidance, trended warmer by a degree or two on
lows, dropping into the lower 60s east to middle 60s west, with
increasing clouds limiting cooling, only reinforced by southerly
surface flow. As of this writing, development of rainfall within
the CWA before 12Z remains negligible in the PoP grids, but a few
showers north of the I-30 corridor before daybreak are not out of
the question, increasing in coverage and confidence into the
morning hours.
