Issued at 337 AM GMT Thu Mar 28 2024

Another chilly start with upper 30s and low to mid 40s. High 
pressure is all around us with a 1024mb center in Arkadelphia. 
Lots of our sites calm as a result or a few still N hanging in
there, but we will be NE 5 mph or light and variable this morning
and then becoming S/SE 5 mph in the afternoon, in the wake of the
departing high pressure area. For our Texas counties first, and 
then across I-49 in the late day E/SE winds will slowly gain 
speed. We will be very close to late March averages all things 
considered in the upper 60s and lower 70s for our area highs. 
Skies remain fair today and tonight with slightly warmer readings 
at this time tomorrow. Low to mid 40s east of I-49 and lower 50s 
to the west early tomorrow. And then highs on Friday will make a 
jump close to 80 in a few spots with widespread mid to upper 70s.
