Issued at 1223 PM CDT TUE APR 23 2024

Crystal clear skies are being observed across much of the 
southeast following a very chilly morning. Low temperatures this
morning were on the order of 10 to 15 degrees below normal, with
mid 30s to lower 40s observed areawide. Surface high pressure has
shifted to our east, centered over the Southeast Atlantic coast. 
Southerly flow has developed over Central Alabama as a result, 
which will help temperatures warm into the mid 70s to lower 80s by
this afternoon. An upper level trough axis will pass just off to
our northeast overnight tonight through the day on Wednesday with
a weak surface front moving southward from the Ohio River Valley.
Clouds will increase as the front approaches overnight tonight
through Wednesday morning with warmer overnight temperatures.
Isolated to scattered showers with a few storms can be expected
Thursday afternoon as the front begins to stall close to the I-20
corridor. Additional lift in the form of a weak 500mb impulse
within the northwesterly flow aloft will also aid with convective
development as dewpoints increase into the upper 50s and lower
60s. The best coverage of showers and storms will be along and 
west of the I-65 corridor Thursday afternoon, but will remain 
scattered at best. Highs Thursday will be tempered across the 
northern half of the area due to increased cloud cover, while 
lower 80s are expected from Demopolis eastward to Eufaula.
