.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 853 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Rest of Tonight...Strong high pressure at the surface and ridging 
aloft wedged into the region from the east, will remain in control 
of the weather across the CWA tonight. While convection moving 
across South Central Arkansas and Northwest Louisiana towards far 
western portions of the forecast area this evening, it is weakening 
in the process.  Despite this, some scattered showers, along with an 
isolated thunderstorm or two, will be possible across the Delta 
region overnight.  The remainder of the CWA will however remain dry.

High clouds will continue to spread east across the region tonight 
as well. Some low stratus is also expected to develop across areas 
mainly along and south of the Interstate 20 corridor, with some 
patchy fog not out of the question across the Pine Belt where winds 
will be lighter early Saturday morning.  Elsewhere, a tight pressure 
gradient across the region will yield continued breezy conditions 
overnight with southerly winds around 10 mph expected, along with a 
few gusts between 15-20 mph possible, especially across the Delta 
region.

Overall, the current forecast is in good shape.  Other than some 
minor adjustments to hourly elements of the forecast based on 
current trends, no major changes will be made on this evening's 
update. /19/
