.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MAKE GOOD PROGRESS INTO THE FOUR STATE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON. CU FIELD HAS DEVELOPED JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONT ACROSS DEEP EAST TEXAS INTO NORTHWEST LOUISIANA AND SOUTH
CENTRAL ARKANSAS BUT CU IS RATHER FLAT AND WITH UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT MOVING NORTH AND EAST OF THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...
IT SHOULD BE SAFE TO REMOVE POPS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON
ACROSS OUR NE ZONES. PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX QUICKLY THIS
EVENING AND THUS...WILL ALLOW CURRENT LAKE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE
AT 6 PM THIS EVENING. RIDGE AXIS MOVES INTO OUR NW ZONES AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND WITH CLEAR SKIES...SHOULD SEE A GOOD COOL DOWN
AREAWIDE TONIGHT. RIDGE AXIS MOVES EAST OF THE REGION ON SATURDAY
WITH SOUTH WINDS RETURNING TO MOST ALL AREAS DURING THE DAY WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR A DESCENT WARMUP BUT NOT AS WARM AS WE SAW TODAY.
ANOTHER WARM DAY EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WITH SOME AFTERNOON CU
EXPECTED AS THE GULF BEGINS TO OPEN UP WITH LOW CLOUDS ENVELOPING
THE ENTIRE REGION LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO BECOME RATHER ZONAL SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS
A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES OUR WAY FROM THE WEST. THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH DEEPER MOISTURE IN PLACE TO GENERATE SOME WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS ON MONDAY AHEAD OF ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT BUT THE FRONT
WILL LIKELY HANG UP NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR MONDAY
NIGHT BEFORE WASHING OUT ON TUESDAY WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW
RECOMMENCING FOR TUESDAY/TUESDAY NIGHT. UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME
MORE SOUTHWESTERLY BY MID TO LATE WEEK WHICH WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES ON THE WARM SIDE. CANNOT RULE OUT WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS OR AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACROSS THE REGION WED THRU
FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK WITH ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT STRUGGLING TO
PUSH THROUGH THE REGION LATE THU INTO FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK. THE
NEXT MOST SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM DIGS INTO THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PLAINS JUST BEYOND THIS FORECAST PERIOD WITH A STRONGER
COLD FRONT POISED TO MOVE INTO THE REGION LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY WITH BETTER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS.
