MESOSCALE UPDATE
Issued at 953 AM CST Sun Dec 10 2023
The forecast remains on track with no changes. Gusty winds and cooler temperatures continues to move in the wake of a cold front.
Satellite and observation data shows mostly clear skies, with some cloud cover located near the Pine Belt and I-59 corridor. Remaining cloud coverage will diminish by the afternoon. A 4-5 mb pressure gradient will keep gusty, northwest winds. In addition to gusty winds, more cooler air will advect into the region throughout the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 40s to lower 50s across the area. /SW/
DISCUSSION
Issued at 352 AM CST Sun Dec 10 2023
Today through tonight: The primary weather story in the near term for the forecast area will be the much cooler temperatures expected to continue moving in behind a departing cold front. A sharp thermal trough will move steadily across the area today with a tight pressure gradient supporting blustery conditions as temperatures struggle to reach the upper 40s to lower 50s. For tonight, high pressure will become centered over the area. Wind will diminish under clear skies, making for increasingly favorable cooling conditions, and this should lead to a widespread freeze at most locations. /EC/
Monday through Saturday night: Surface high pressure will strengthen over the region on Monday, with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Surface high pressure will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs in the upper 50s to around 60 and lows in the low 30s. Little will change on Thursday with slightly warmer temperatures. The models have had varying solutions for late in the week, with the ECMWF trying to drive another strong short wave across the area, while the GFS has been more suppressed with the system over the gulf. The latest run of the ECMWF is more like the GFS, with a more suppressed system keeping the ArkLaMs mainly dry into the weekend./15/

MVFR category stratus will exit eastern portions of the forecast area early this morning.
