...New MESOSCALE UPDATE...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 936 AM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024

Morning satellite imagery showed that the upper level trough axis
has shifted east of Mississippi resulting in a northwest flow
aloft that will continue across the region today. Morning surface
analysis had a 1025mb high centered just west of our CWA that will
help provide and light northeast wind across our region. Despite
near full insolation today, temperatures will top out cooler than
normal this afternoon. The current forecast handles this well and
no changes were needed with this update. /22/
