.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 214 AM CST Tue Mar 2 2021

Another mild day is in store for the region today as nearly full
sun is expected through the day. An area of low pressure will move
south of the area today which may bring some cloud cover to areas
along the Arkansas line, maybe even a sprinkle or two, but most
areas will remain cloud free and dry.

Temperatures will climb into the middle to upper 50s this
afternoon with southerly winds. For tonight, morning lows will
remain above the freezing mark for most with middle 30s common.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 214 AM CST Tue Mar 2 2021

Upper level ridging and high pressure will work to keep the
middle of the week rather nice with highs in the 60s Wednesday and
Thursday.

Models continue to show a trough and weak system moving into the
area Friday with light rain possible. The models have been
uncertain on this however, and will continue to watch it through
the week. Regardless, rain will be light with the moisture being
Pacific in nature.

Another ridge moves over the region for the weekend which should
make for a pleasant few days. The upper level flow then becomes
southwesterly Sunday evening into early next week which may allow
some activity towards the middle of next week.
