Tonight and Tomorrow...

The forecast remains on track, temperatures in the northwest have
warmed to right around 70 while temps in the southeast have 
warmed to right around 85. Tonight the broad surface frontal 
system will continue to move east into Canada sending a cold front
southeast towards the south central states. Northerly winds will 
increase as the front approaches and puts an end to rain and storm
chances overnight until right before daybreak when they will 
begin once again centered on the ArkLaMiss borders. Going into the
morning dense patchy fog will be likely to persist in the 
southeastern portions of the CWA as well as patchy fog being 
possible along and north of the HWY-84 corridor. Excess moisture 
and light winds will make development easy and more likely as we 
have seen for the last few days. Overnight low temperatures will 
have a wide gradient from northwest to southeast. Temps in the 
northwest will be seasonable in the in the low - mid 50s, while 
low temps in the southeast will be seasonably warm in the low - 
mid 60s. Throughout the course of the day tomorrow multiple 
disturbances moving east will have our area progged for continued 
rain and storm chances with a an isolated thunderstorm or two 
being possible./KVP/

Saturday night through late next week...

We will be cool and wet to start Saturday night and Sunday as a 
series of subtle shortwaves embedded within overall flow shift 
across the area. Expect any thunder (which should be isolated to far 
southern areas) Saturday night to diminish with waning instability 
Sunday. Not expecting a wash out with QPF totaling around a half 
to 3 quarters of an inch across the area Sunday. Ridging builds in
the wake of a final shortwave Sunday night into Monday, shutting 
off rain chances. Temperatures will be noticeably cool these 
first few days in the extended term with highs only in the 60s and
low 70s, about 5 to 10 degrees below normal for this time of 
year. Dry conditions will persist through the first half of next 
week beneath upper ridging. Mid to late next week, clouds will 
increase amid a warm, moist advection regime. Cannot rule out the 
occasional sprinkle or isolated shower at this time. By week's 
end, temperatures will be above average with highs in the 
80s./SAS/
