DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW THAT MOVED ACROSS OUR REGION OVERNIGHT/THIS MORNING
CONTINUES TO MOVE EWD THIS AFTERNOON. DESPITE THE REDEVELOPMENT OF
CU ACROSS N LA/SRN AR...SKIES SHOULD GO MOSTLY CLEAR TONIGHT AS
SUBSIDENCE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW TAKES OVER.

UPPER RIDGING SHOULD KEEP US DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM FOR SATURDAY
BEFORE SW FLOW TAKES OVER AHEAD OF ANOTHER DISTURBANCE ON SUNDAY.
CHANCES FOR AN ISOLD SHWR/TSTM WILL CREEP IN FOR SUNDAY...MAINLY
ACROSS E TX/SE OK...AND LINGER THROUGH TUESDAY...AS A SLOW-MOVING
COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE REGION.

RIDGING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT WILL CLEAR US OUT FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT
ANOTHER TROF/COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE ACROSS THE PLAINS THURSDAY.
THE COLD FRONT WILL BE SLOW-MOVING ONCE AGAIN...KEEPING CHANCES
FOR SHWRS/TSTMS AROUND THROUGH THE END OF THE FCST PD.

ALL IN ALL NOTHING OVERLY SIGNIFICANT...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
FACT THAT APRIL IS CLIMATOLOGICALLY OUR MOST ACTIVE SEVERE WEATHER
MONTH. TEMPS WILL LIKELY RUN ABOVE NORMAL/GUIDANCE WITH LITTLE TO
NO COLD AIR INTRUSION EXPECTED THIS PD. /12/
