.DISCUSSION...

Surface high pressure settling across the Ohio River Valley will
maintain east to northeast winds across the region tonight through
Wednesday allowing for slightly drier conditions. The airmass will
also be much cooler allowing for highs in the 80s and overnight
lows around 70. An upper-level ridge settling across the mid-
Mississippi Valley will suppress most afternoon convection across
the ArkLaTex on Wednesday afternoon with only slight chances
possible south of I-20 where a weak frontal boundary lingers.

Surface high to shift east on Thursday allowing for winds to adopt
a more southerly component. The combination of increased moisture
from southerly flow and a nearly stationary upper-trough across
Texas will allow for increased instability across the region through
the end of the workweek resulting in diurnally driven afternoon
convection each day.

The highest rain chances will be through the weekend as an upper-
low deepens at the base of the trough across northern Mexico on
Friday night, which will lumber northeast into the Central Plains
by Sunday night. Instability associated with the upper-trough and
a low-level disturbance drifting north from the gulf could allow
for periods of widespread convection both Saturday into Sunday.

The synoptic pattern becomes somewhat stagnant early next week
as the upper-trough remains nearly stationary across Arkansas
into Missouri. The combination of the upper trough and a low-
level moisture rich airmass will maintain periods of showers and
thunderstorms as well as slightly cooler temperatures through the
end of the forecast period. /05/

vary in the wake of this large push, along with mostly mid and
high clouds ovhd. Last of the light rain is going to loom over
KLFK for hours this evening and then clouds will be slow to go as
winds aloft are W/NW 10-30KT. Surface winds will back to E/NE and
prevail for Wednesday, veering to SE again by Thursday evening.
