Today through tonight: A large mesoscale convective system will continue to track east across the area early this morning, and it should gradually weaken as it moves into a less favorable thermodynamic environment. One concern with this decaying MCS scenario is for a wake low wind event to take place, and current upstream obs suggest this could be unfolding (e.g., El Dorado gusted to 36 mph from the southeast). Will continue to monitor for increased mesoscale wind potential, but overall, any remaining severe threat looks marginal, and the progressive nature of the diminishing MCS should help to limit the heavy rain potential. Going through tonight, convective rainfall potential should continue ahead of a shortwave trough passage this evening. There may be increased fog potential for early Tuesday morning. /EC/
Tuesday through mid next week: Our area continues to be under a late spring/early summer regime with a warm humid airmass in place. Showers and thunderstorms will be a daily possibility, driven by this humid airmass, as well as intermittent disturbances. Through much of the week, ridging aloft will prevent any airmass change. Moisture is ample to support diurnal convection, though weak shear will limit any updraft organization.
Later in the week, a weak cold front attempts to push southward and may bring briefly cooler temperatures, but significant airmass change is unlikely. Rain and storm chances slowly decrease early next week as we begin to warm even more with temperatures in the upper 80s and perhaps some spots reach 90 degrees by mid next week. /SAS/

A decaying mesoscale convective system will move across the area accompanied by mostly MVFR category stratus and TS potential as we go through the morning, but expect a slight improvement later this afternoon with a greater chance for reaching VFR category. By late tonight, ceilings are expected to lower significantly, and we may see a greater threat for IFR category ceilings, and perhaps even some vsby reductions due to fog prior to daybreak. Overall, southerly surface wind and stronger mixing should limit widespread fog potential. /EC/
