MESOSCALE UPDATE
Issued at 956 PM CDT Mon Mar 18 2024
Rest of tonight...
Evening RAP/water vapor analysis indicate deep longwave trough centered along & east of the MS River basin while cutoff upper low remains stalled over the Desert Southwest/Baja California region. At the sfc, 1025mb sfc high is centered over the ArkLaTex to central Plains/Red River region. As longwave trough axis swings east overnight, sfc high will sag southward towards the Gulf Coast. A subtle gradient around 3mb, will relax & winds will subside overnight. Temperatures are dropping quickly across the region, currently in the low-to mid 40s. Expect lows to fall well below freezing into the upper 20s, especially in cold drainage areas east of I-55 & especially into the Hwy 25 corridor. Along the MS River corridor, lows could fall near freezing. The ongoing widespread frost/freeze potential looks well on track, with the outlooked "Significant" in the HWO graphic valid. Areawide Freeze Warning looks valid, with the MS River corridor the only area that is a little more questionable. With frost potential high & near calm conditions anticipated, leaving the hazards as is. Updates are out. /DC/

Tonight and Tomorrow...
Weather conditions will remain quiet for the short term period with no major modifications made to the overall forecast. Global guidance highlights a 1030mb sfc high across the ArkLaMiss region tonight which will help suppress any low-level moisture from the Gulf Coast. With light northerly flow, strong radiational cooling of our cool dry airmass will allow for overnight temperatures to drop in the upper 20s in the northeast. Elsewhere, nighttime temperatures will fall into the lower 30s. This will lead to widespread frost development across our entire CWA along with several hours of temperatures below freezing. The combination of frost and freezing temperatures will likely kill unprotected sensitive vegetation. Given these conditions for tonight, the Freeze Warning remains in effect until 9AM Tuesday morning.
Heading into tomorrow, weather conditions will remain quiet as the sfc high slowly shifts east across the ArkLaMiss region.
Sufficient daytime heating combined with the lack of cloud cover will help afternoon temperatures peak into the upper 50s mainly for areas north of I-20. Areas south of I-20 will see daytime highs in the low 60s. /CR/
Tuesday night through Sunday night...A pretty quiet weather pattern is in store for the ArkLaMs in the long term. Strong high pressure will be over the region Tuesday night, with slightly warmer lows in the mid 30s to near 40. High pressure will continue to prevail on Wednesday, with highs around 70 degrees for most of the area. A short wave and associated cold front will approach the area on Thursday and move across the area Thursday through Thursday night. Currently the global models struggle with moisture with this system (especially the ECMWF), with the best moisture over the northern gulf. Both the GFS/ECMWF develop convection over the northern gulf and limit moisture return during this period. There could still be some isolated to scattered storms across the area, but with limited instability, expect any storms that do develop to remain below severe limits. Will have to continue to monitor this system, as it is still a few days away and the models may change.
The front will move east of the area early on Friday and high pressure will build in behind it. A very nice weekend is on tap for the area under strong high pressure, with highs on Saturday in the upper 60s to low 70s, climbing into the mid/upper 70s on Sunday./15/
