possibly some brief scattered clouds around 4 kft with turbulent
mixing with cold frontal passage as winds shift. Surface winds
will be light and variable to light West less than 6
knots...becoming Northerly 5-10 knots as the boundary moves into
Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas near 29/05-29/06Z and

DISCUSSION...
A broad upper trough will become cut off over the middle Ohio
River Valley while an upper ridge builds over the Plains. The
resulting dry northwest flow aloft will result in a general
persistence forecast for much of the next week with mostly clear
to partly cloudy skies, cool mornings, and warm afternoons. A cold
front currently in Oklahoma and Arkansas will quickly move across
our area by sunrise Thursday morning. The pressure gradient will
tighten slightly with the front increasing northerly winds. The
resulting cold air advection will should keep daytime highs near
or below 80 degrees F and overnight lows in the low to mid 50s
Thursday night/Friday morning.

The weather will likely be rather quiet through the weekend.
Temperatures will gradually warm back into the mid to upper 80s by
the beginning of next week. The pattern aloft will shift as the
Ohio Valley trough opens and merges with the westerlies. A digging
trough over the Great Basin should kick the upper ridge eastward
and transition the flow aloft to southwesterly. Deep layer
moisture is expected to slowly increase as the upper trough and a
Pacific cold front approach from the west bringing showers and
thunderstorms back into the forecast for late Tuesday and into
Wednesday.
