.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 247 AM CDT Sat Oct 3 2026

Recent sfc obs and objective analysis depicted a sfc cdfrnt
draped acrs the Gulf Coast region, w/ NErly winds in place over
much of the FA. Thru the day Sat and into Sat evng, some lingering
precip wl be possible over Cntrl portions of the state, though
most wl lkly just see overcast skies and occasionally drizzling
condns thru the day, w/ afternoon high temperatures only topping
out in the mid 70s for most.

Thru the coming week, stronger H500 flow wl recede poleward, w/
intermittent ridging developing acrs the Wrn to Cntrl US. In the
wake of Friday`s cdfrnt, dry and settled weather is expected to
prevail, w/ a significant airmass change ushering in seasonable
temperatures. Low temps are expected to fall to the 40s across
portions of Nrn to Cntrl AR by Tues and Wed mrngs, w/ afternoon
highs topping out in the upper 70s to low 80s. By mid-week, Srly sfc
flow is set to resume under building ridging, allowing for daily
temperatures to trend upwards once again.
