.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 311 AM CST Sun Nov 1 2026

Latest regional radars continue to show an area of light to
occasionally moderate precipitation exiting the CWA to the NE.
Upper trough currently over north central sections of the state
also making a slow progression to the east and will take the
majority of the shower activity with it as it exits the state
early this morning.

In its wake, weak ridging will build back over the region for
this afternoon through Monday before moving off. While a stray
shower or two can not be discounted, the majority of the state
will be dry once this initial batch of rain moves out.

Attention will then turn to an advancing H5 trough/upper low that
will have moved from its current position along the west coast
and into the central/northern high plains by the end of Monday.
Main low will be located over the northern plains but guidance
continues to advertise a secondary low developing along the
associated surface boundary as the system evolves.

Southwest flow will draw moisture into the region with said
boundary located along the AR/OK border by early Tuesday morning.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing along and in
advance of the boundary as it moves across the state on Tuesday.
Upper flow will largely be parallel to the boundary meaning it
will take some time for it to clear the state but conditions do
appear to improve rapidly in its wake.

Guidance has the majority of the precipitation crossing the MS
River by the end of Tuesday with the front lagging behind by
several hours. Upper trough will move through the state on
Wednesday with at least a few showers possible as the upper
support lifts out. A inch of two of rain is not out of the realm
of possibility with this system with locally heavier amounts not
out of the question. Data now supports a few stronger storms
Tuesday as the system moves through with gusty winds the primary
concern.

Several other weak impulses move through the prevailing flow
Thursday and again Friday night but little more than in increase
in clouds are expected. Models do slide another trough through
Saturday night that could bring a better chance of showers to
round out the period.
