.DISCUSSION...

Cold front now pushing toward the MO Bootheel at this hour. Good
pressure rises noted behind the boundary. Thus, the front is on the
way and should reach the area this evening. instability levels
continue to ramp up in advance of this evenings up coming forcing
window. Shear values are decent and this sets the stage for a few
strong storms late this afternoon and into early evening. Main
threat is high winds and some hail, to the west of I-65. Rainfall
amounts look like a half inch on average with 1 inch amounts with
the stronger storms.

Otw, sct showers to persist behind the boundary late tonight as some
weak upper level energy swings into play. Low shower chances will
continue into Saturday as well. A weak southerly component will
reside within the upper level flow on into Sunday. Additionally,
southerly 850 mb flow will set the stage for some weak overrunning
and some isentropic lift. Therefore, look for low shower chances and
some patchy drizzle on Sunday.

Temperature wise, low diurnal swings upcoming with the moist airmass
in place behind tonights cold front. Highs will be below normal with
lows above normal.

In the ext fcst, strong upper low to move across TX by mid week.
Subtropical jet to the south and east of the low will strengthen and
keep the mid state in a rather unsettled pattern. Low shower
chances will be in play through mid week. By the end of the week,
a strong surface low will move northward from the Gulf and track
across TN on Thu. Instability will reside east of the low track,
so depending on the track, we will see more or less tstm activity.
At any rate, it looks like a fairly potent system. Once the low
pulls off to the east, colder air will work in by next weekend.
However, looks like temperatures through the extended will be
above normal through at least Thursday.
