.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday through Wednesday)
Issued at 319 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Quiet morning for us in the wake of exiting high pressure of 
1024mb edging into Georgia now. Return flow off the Gulf began 
yesterday afternoon and several sites have a little light S/SE 
wind present at this time. A little more wind can be found in E 
TX with some gusts likely there later today. Guidance is all 
close with a warm afternoon in the mid to upper 70s. Skies are 
mostly clear now and will stay this way for a while with some high
clouds later on and some scattered fair wx cu with afternoon 
heating. 

Overnight air temps will start to see warmer readings with upper 
50s and lower 60s as dew points continue upwards. Some morning low
clouds and patchy fog can be expected for daybreak on Wednesday 
that will linger into the mid morning. The warmer start will edge
highs into the lower 80s for many of our sites. A broad upper 
ridge over TX and the plains states will be slowly working our way
with rising heights locking in the warmer trend through the rest 
of this week. A frontal boundary will drop down through the MS 
River valley and tail end Charlie some convection over E OK and W
AR early on Wednesday for our northern tier of Counties early in
the day. This activity should remain rather tame with a General 
Risk outlooked for us on the SPC day 2. This convection will sink 
a little farther southward with weak NW flow and a cool pool 
nudge down into E TX and N LA with peak heating. So slight and 
chance pops return, but amounts should be fairly light with 
limited moisture available until the next weekend push. /24/
