Tonight and Friday: Continued dry through the period with cooler than normal temperatures tonight followed by near normal afternoon highs Friday. Mid afternoon satellite imagery/RAP analysis showed a mid level ridge over the central CONUS resulting in northwest flow aloft across our region. This ridge will shift east through Friday and its axis will be centered over our CWA by Friday evening. Latest surface analysis had a 1022mb high centered over southern Louisiana.
This surface high will continue shifting east through Friday as well.
This will result in a light return flow across our CWA by Friday morning and combined with near full insolation again, temperatures will top out in the low to mid 70s. /22/
Friday night through next Thursday...
A fairly quiet stretch is expected for the majority of the extended forecast period. By Friday night, mid-level zonal flow will maintain westerly winds into the middle levels. At the surface, a high pressure centered over the Florida Peninsula will continue expanding across the southeast CONUS, inhibiting convection across the region.
Increasing heights and low level southerly flow will increase temperatures through the beginning of next week. Highs are expected to climb into the upper 70s and lower 80s by Monday and Tuesday and conditions are expected to remain dry until early Tuesday morning.
By Monday evening, an upper low is progged to track across the Mid- West region and swing a trough axis across the Lower Mississippi Valley and TN/Ohio River Valley. This is expected to bring showers and storms into the region, some strong. Severe weather is outlooked just northeast of the CWA, so we will not rule out any severe potential this early. The forecast will likely change over the next several days. /AJ/
