...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday) 
Issued at 147 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

Light showers continue to make their way through the area early
this morning. This is associated with warm air advection and a
warm front that is sitting to our south. These light showers will
slowly work east as the morning goes on and will push out by the 
afternoon. These showers have dropped a few hundreths in spots in 
the western part of the area and that trend will continue with 
them. Once the showers move out we may get a brief break in the 
clouds and highs will warm into the 80s except over the Plateau 
where it will stay cooler. 

Things are looking quiet for us over the weekend as the upper
level ridge amplifies to our east and an active pattern of short
waves sets up to our west over the Plains. This will bring warming
temperatures with highs in the mid 80s. An increased pressure
gradient over the area will bring breezy southerly winds with wind
gusts 25-35 mph Saturday afternoon. The gradient will loosen up 
for Sunday but we still can expected wind gusts up to 20 mph in 
the afternoon.
