.DISCUSSION...

EARLY THIS MORNING A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WAS CENTERED OVER
SOUTHEAST  CO AND WAS GRADUALLY SHIFTING EAST AND NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE FOUR STATE AREA. THE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT THE RAIN AND STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS HELPED
PROVIDE MORE STABLE CONDITIONS TO THE REGION. PATCHY FOG WILL
PREVAIL INTO THE MID MORNING HOURS FOR MUCH OF THE FOUR STATE
REGION BEFORE LIFTING AND BURNING OFF. THE REMNANTS OF THE
BOUNDARY HAS SHIFTED INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTH LOUISIANA. THIS MAY BE A FOCUS FOR SOME CONVECTION OVER
EXTREME SOUTHERN ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH LITTLE CHANCE
FOR REMAINING SECTIONS. ACTUAL DEW POINT GRADIENT TO THE NORTH OF
THE FORECAST AREA OVER ARKANSAS AND LOOKS TO BE MOVING INTO OUR
AREA OVERNIGHT TONIGHT BEFORE BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY THEN
LIFTING BACK NORTH DURING LATE FRIDAY AND EARLY SATURDAY. DRY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO THE LATE WEEKEND AND START TO THE WORK
WORK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE
UPPER RIDGE BUILDING OVER US BUT WITH SOME RAIN OVER THE NORTHWEST
ZONES AND LOWER DEW POINTS...NOT EXPECTING THE HEAT INDICES TO
CLIMB TO ADVISORY CRITERIA TODAY...OR FRIDAY. LOWER DEW POINTS ON
SATURDAY WILL STILL KEEP MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA BELOW HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA EVEN WITH UPPER NINETIES READINGS. A PATTERN
DEVELOPING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS A STRONG SHORT WAVE RIDES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN STATES AND SOUTHERN CANADA WILL AFFECT THE RIDGE ALOFT
ALLOWING ANOTHER COLD FRONT TO ENTER THE NORTHERN ZONES SUNDAY
NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY. AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY
SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL REMAIN A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF
THE MID TO LATE WORK WEEK. WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE EAST AND
RIDGING ALOFT OUT WEST...WE WILL SEE COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH
CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES. /06/
