through the weekend.

night and especially Sunday night will give us the potential
for some frost.
- Slightly warmer and wetter conditions return for the latter
half of next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024
A cool weekend is on tap as surface high pressure helps draw in
a colder Canadian air mass, while the upper long wave trof
responsible for our recent weather churns itself across the
upper Ohio Valley and Northeast. Highs will run lower half 60s.
Lows will fall thru the 40s, and may dip into the mid-upper 30s
for a lot of us by Sunday night. This combined with clear
skies/light winds make for our best frost potential late Sunday
night. Clouds and winds may hinder frost development the
previous night, when some upper 30s are also possible.
Temps rebound closer to seasonal norms next week. Another dip in
the jet stream drives a cold front thru the area Tuesday night,
so preceding that, there will be a prefrontal pcpn chance,
including thunder, Tuesday afternoon-evening. Another low
pressure wave incoming by week`s end could produce similar pcpn
chances, and higher thunder chances with a little warmer/wetter
Gulf input.
