.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 1016 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

The forecast looks to remain on track for this morning. Southerly
flow will continue to increase as ridging continues to build from
the southeast. At the surface, a shortwave disturbance to our
northwill bring isolated shower and storm potential across the 
Hwy 82 corridor this afternoon. This looks to be fairly short lived
as the frontal boundary stalls over the Middle MS Valley/Ozarks 
region this afternoon. Highs will climb into the upper 70s to 
middle 80s this afternoon. /AJ/
