.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 1146 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Northwesterly flow aloft will continue across the region tonight and
Wednesday as a weak shortwave trough aloft moves east across the
region. At the surface, high pressure centered over the southeastern
CONUS early this evening will shift to just off the southeast East
Coast by late Wednesday, but continue to ridge back west across our
area. Associated low level light onshore return flow will gradually
begin to increase moisture across the area, with PWATS just over
0.50 inches this evening climbing to just over 1.00 inch by the end
of the day Wednesday. Overall though, the the deep layer air column
remains fairly dry through Wednesday, with a possible saturated
layer between 850-700MB. With this will likely be looking at
increased mid-level clouds across the region on Wednesday, and
possibly a sprinkle or two up along the Highway 84 corridor. The
likelihood of any rain for now though it too low to carry any PoPs
for Wednesday. There could be some very patchy light fog development
in a few spots late tonight/early Wednesday morning, but confidence
in occurrence and the anticipated very patchy/limited nature of fog
development precluded any mention in the forecast. A little warmer
tonight with min temps primarily in the low 50s over all interior
locations north of I-10, but upper 50s to lower 60s closer to and
along the coast. Highs on Wednesday rebounding mainly into the lower
80s for most locations, but remaining in the upper 70s for some
locations, especially along the coast. DS/12
