Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024 Dry conditions and above normal temperatures will persist through Thursday as high pressure remains in place. Showers and thunderstorms will return to the Mid-South late Thursday and linger through the weekend as a stalled front remains over the region. Unsettled weather may persist through early next week. && .DISCUSSION... (This evening through next Monday) Issued at 240 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024 Nearly perfect weather is ongoing across the Mid-South today. Temperatures are in the upper 70s and lower 80s under mostly clear skies. Much warmer conditions are expected on Wednesday as the upper level ridge amplifies over the Lower Mississippi Valley. High temperatures could approach the upper 80s. Showers and thunderstorms will return to the region late Thursday as a shortwave lifts northeast across the Mid-South. A trailing cold front will move into the region on Friday and stall across the Mid-South through the weekend. The best coverage of storms appears to be Friday, with 30 to 40 PoPs Saturday and Sunday. The weather will remain unsettled through early next week as several shortwaves translate east through the Lower Mississippi Valley. Organized severe weather still appears low as the Polar Jet remains displaced well to the north and west of us. AC3 && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 608 PM CDT Tue Apr 30 2024 Beautiful flying conditions across the air space under high pressure. Some BR and locally dense fog is possible across the Tennessee River Valley (MKL and TUP). MKL looks to stay VFR, with low probabilities to drop to MVFR. TUP is likely to prevail MVFR with low probabilities to drop to IFR. Any fog that does develop will diminish after sunrise. The pressure gradient will start to tighten tomorrow and increase winds from west to east across the area. DNM && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...None. MO...None. MS...None.
