A COLD FRONT IS SLOWLY SINKING SOUTH THROUGH OUR AREA OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY THIS MORNING THEN STALLING OUT ACROSS OUR SOUTH LATER TODAY
BEFORE FINALLY MOVING SOUTH OF THE CWA THIS EVENING. A FEW SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY JUST OUTSIDE OUR NORTHWEST
BORDER AND SHOULD GENERALLY STAY THERE. INSTABILITY/SUPPORT FOR
STORMS FALLS OFF SHARPLY THE FURTHER INTO THE CWA YOU GET. SOME
MODELS ARE LITTLE MORE BULLISH WITH PRECIP CHANCES LATER TODAY
PASSING THROUGH FROM SEMO INTO SOUTHERN IL AND WESTERN KY. HOWEVER,
NBM ONLY HAS SOME WEAK 20% ISH ISOLATED CHANCES WITH THE FRONT
LINGERING TODAY BUT OVERALL THE DAY IS MAINLY DRY. BEST CHANCES ARE
OVER THE OZARK FOOTHILLS FOR A COUPLE HOURS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON.
SOME OF THOSE WEAK 20% ISOLATED CHANCES LINGER INTO TUESDAY WITH A
SHORTWAVE PASSING ALOFT, BUT AGAIN THE DAY IS MAINLY DRY. MUCH
COOLER AND MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FALL INTO PLACE BEHIND THE
FRONT WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S ON TUESDAY.
DRY AND SEASONABLE CONDITIONS ARE IN PLACE WEDNESDAY ON THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH A SLIGHT WARM UP NEXT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SFC HIGH
PRESSURE SETS UP OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND EAST OF THE LAKES WITH
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER THE MIDWEST.
