DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 306 AM CDT SAT MAR 21 2026
TODAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...
QUIET AND DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR TODAY AS
SURFACE RIDGING CONTINUES TO SPREAD ACROSS OUR CWA. CLOUD COVER WILL
START TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST EARLY THIS MORNING WITH SKY
CONDITIONS CLEARING BY NOON WITH MORNING LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER
60S. PATCHY FOG MAY POSSIBLE ALONG AND SOUTH OF HWY 84 THIS MORNING,
BUT DENSE FOG PROBABILITIES REMAIN LOW AT THIS TIME. SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT WARM AIR INTO THE REGION ALLOWING FOR
TEMPERATURES TO UNDERGO A WARMING TREND. LOOK FOR DAYTIME HIGHS TO
PEAK INTO THE LOW 80S AREAWIDE.
QUIET CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS OUR CWA LATER TONIGHT THANKS TO
THE SFC RIDGE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS RANGING IN THE UPPER 50S/LOWER
60S. SUNDAY WILL REMAIN QUIET WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER
80S. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT HIGHS THIS WEEKEND COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO BREAK SEVERAL RECORDS ESPECIALLY IF WARMER GUIDANCE VERIFIES.
THE FORECAST FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD REMAINS ON TRACK WITH NO
ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE OVERALL FORECAST. TEMPERATURES WILL START TO
COOL SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS LONG
TERM GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A DRY FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION. AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHES SOUTH TOWARDS THE
GULF COAST, INCREASED RETURN FLOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE OUR AREA.
THIS WILL ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO REBOUND INTO THE 80S WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY. ANOTHER BRIEF COOL DOWN IN TEMPERATURES IS POSSIBLE
LOOKING AHEAD FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS ANOTHER DRY FRONT PUSHES SOUTH
TOWARDS OUR AREA. /CR/
