.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 231 PM CDT Tue May 30 2023

Tonight and Tomorrow...

Dry low and mid levels will keep conditions quiet as we head into
the evening hours. This will also help to keep skies relatively
clear as we head into tomorrow. Dew points will be in the upper
50s/lower 60s throughout the morning hours, possibly lowering to the
mid 50s by tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise, another day of mostly
sunny skies will be expected tomorrow. Some southeasterly flow will
bring some moisture into portions of the Pine Belt region, giving
them some minor rain chances late tomorrow afternoon. High
temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s. /LCP/

Wednesday through Early Next Week...

Generally quiet weather will continue through the long term
period. Each day during the afternoon there is a possibility for
showers and a storm or two however, under this Omega Block regime,
there has been much uncertainty as too timing, how much rain, and
if there will be enough moisture for the rain chances to prevail.
Even with the uncertainty, blend models puts at least isolated
25-30 percent chance of rain each day. Will keep the trend of
leaning towards the blend model guidance.

At some point between Saturday-Monday, the Omega Block will begin to
break down and a low pressure off the Atlantic coast will push east
while a mid-level high breaks down across the Great Lakes region and
Canadian boarder. Behind this, upper-level ridging will begin to
build in across our region slightly increasing warmth across the
ArkLaMiss. Highs Friday through next week will be rather warm as
temperatures climb into the lower 90s for much of the area. /JNE/
