.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 115 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024

Another low pressure system takes shape in the Plains and lifts
into the Great Lakes late this weekend. It will drive its cold
front into (Sunday night) and thru (Monday) the FA, bringing
showers/storms with it. The likeliest expectation is for
locally heavy rainfall producing 1-2 inch totals on average.
Some localized flooding potential exists, esp over portions of
SEMO, where the best rains fell earlier today. WPC has a SLGT
Risk of exceeding FFG there. Strong storm potential cannot be
ruled out, but generally looks to stay closer to the track of
the low, or west of our area.

Generally zonal westerlies steer the sensible weather forecast
the remainder of the coming week. This means a continuation of
our seasonal warmth, along with a continuation of an almost
daily on and off period of rain chances. Highs from the mid 70s
to lower 80s and lows from the mid 50s to lower 60s will be most
commonplace.
