.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 159 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024
Tonight through Sunday...
Not much change has been made for the short term period. Warm and
dry conditions are expected tonight as we head into the weekend. The
ridge axis will continue to slowly shift east across the forecast
area tonight as we start to see an increase in southerly flow. This
will allow for a few scattered showers and storms to occur over
northwest portions of the area. Expect overnight low to dip into the
upper 60s across our CWA as clouds build from the west. Heading into
tomorrow, weather conditions will be quiet as the upper-ridge
continues to dominant our forecast. Mostly cloudy sky conditions are
expected across our forecast area with afternoon highs peaking in
the mid to upper 80s. Global guidance continues to highlight a
pressure gradient of around 5 to 7 mb over the area tomorrow which
will result in sustained winds around 15 to 20 mph with gusts around
30-35 mph. No changes have been made to the limited wind graphic for
the weekend.
Sunday Night through Friday..
Dry conditions will occur heading into Sunday evening due to general
ridging aloft. Primary focus for the long term period will be on
Monday as storm chances will begin to increase around this timeframe
due southerly flow aloft building up moisture from the Gulf ahead of
a surface cold front. A small threat for strong to severe storms
will be possible. Deep layer shear around 40 to 50 kts should aid in
the development of updrafts. Damaging wind gusts with a possible
MCS, mainly for areas along and north of the Hwy 82 corridor will be
possible with some of these storms, however there is some
uncertainty in regards to where the system will line up with the
shear and cold pool.
Furthermore, several of these storms will have the capability of
producing locally heavy rainfall at times thanks to deep layer
moisture circulating around the retreating ridge and moving along a
huge fetch of warm tropical/subtropical Atlantic waters. In
addition, PWATs in excessive of 1.5 inches and deep warm cloud layer
will result in efficient rainfall rates along with some minor river
flooding possible, thus a flash flood threat appears possible. Some
uncertainty remains in regards with the timing of the system and
where the cold pool develops. We will be keeping an close eye on
this system. If needed, we will be providing updates to any
severe/flash flood outlooks as we closer to this event.
By Tuesday evening, a stronger ridge will start to build over the
Mississippi Valley Region as the aforementioned cold front shifts
east out of the forecast area giving us a short break from the rain.
Isolated showers and storms will make a brief return to the area on
Wednesday and Thursday with quiet conditions expected on Friday.
Confidence in severe at this time is low, but can't rule out
some organized convection, especially later in the week. /CR/

Killer frosts were reported in the Deep South. The frost was quite severe
around Huntsville AL, and highlighted a backward spring in the South that
year. (David Ludlum)

An unusually strong occluded front swept out of the Gulf of Alaska and
produced the first April thunderstorm of record at Fairbanks. Pea size hail
fell northeast of Fairbanks from thunderstorms whose tops were less than
8000 feet. (The Weather Channel)
...1984...
Severe thunderstorms associated with an intense cyclone spawned a total of
forty-seven tornadoes in two days from Louisiana to Upper Michigan. The
tornadoes killed 16 persons and injured 259 others. (Storm Data)
