Through Tomorrow:

Calm and cool weather is expected to continue for the remainder of 
the day through tomorrow afternoon. A surface high is expected to 
continue tracking eastwards into the CWA, bringing cool, 
northeasterly flow into the region. This will allow for below normal 
temperatures through the remainder of today into  tonight. Highs 
will top out in the upper 60s to near 70s, which is nearly 10-15 
degrees below average for the latter half of April. Overnight lows 
look to dip into the lower 40s. Some areas in the north may drop 
into the upper 30s, while some areas in the southeast may 
overachieve with evaporational cooling as the high migrates east 
overnight. 

Tomorrow, dry conditions will continue as the high pressure shifts 
closer to the southeast region , which will allow for southerly flow 
to increase from the southwest. This will enable moisture to sneak 
back into the region and temperatures to increase once again. 
Tomorrow's highs look to increase into the lower to upper 70s across 
the region. /AJ/

Tuesday night through Sunday night:

Surface high pressure and dry conditions will prevail Tuesday 
night, with warmer overnight lows mainly in the 50s. A short wave
will push a weak frontal boundary into the area early on 
Wednesday, but currently it mainly looks dry, but a couple of 
isolated showers will be possible in the north on Wednesday. The 
frontal boundary will continue to extend across the northern 
portions of the area Wednesday into Wednesday night. Another 
stronger short wave will move across the north Thursday into 
Thursday evening, and this may kick off a few showers/storms 
mainly north of I-20 Thursday morning into the afternoon hours. 
Upper ridging will strengthen over the area on Friday and continue
into Saturday. A series of short waves will move from Northeast 
Texas into Arkansas over the weekend, but the ECMWF keeps the bulk
of the precipitation to our west through Sunday night. Showers 
and storms may clip the Delta on Saturday and we could see a 
little more activity on Sunday and Sunday night, but the latest 
runs are becoming drier for Sunday. Highs over the weekend will be
in the low to mid 80s, with overnight lows in the 60s. /15/
