NOT MANY VALUE ADDED CHANGES WILL BE FORTH COMING THIS MORNING AS
THE OVERALL FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK, AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST GUIDANCE. CURRENT GOES-19 IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW A DECENT
AMOUNT OF HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS THE STATE BUT ALSO SOME
CLEARING NOW GETTING INTO FAR NW ARKANSAS.
AN EXPANDING AREA OF LOW CLOUDS AND FOG IS DEVELOPING ACROSS A GOOD
PART OF THE STATE AND WHILE VISIBILITIES REMAIN ABOVE CRITERIA
CURRENTLY, SOME GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREAS MAY SEE THEM DROP MORE BY MORNING. LATEST OBSERVATIONS
INDICATED PATCHY FOG AT MANY LOCATIONS AND IT IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGH EARLY MORNING.
SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN THIS MORNING FEATURES BROAD H5 TROUGHING OVER
THE MAJORITY OF THE CONUS. A WEAK TROUGH EMBEDDED IN THE OVERALL
FLOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS MORNING SCOURING OUT THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE, AT LEAST TEMPORARILY WITH SOME CLEARING EXPECTED. THE
BREAK IN WIDESPREAD CLOUDS WILL BE TEMPORARY AS CLOUDS RETURN
TONIGHT IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING FRONT. THE FRONT WILL HAVE
VIRTUALLY NO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND WILL PASS LARGELY
UNNOTICED ON SUNDAY EXCEPT FOR A WIND SHIFT BACK TO THE NW AS
THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS PASSES TO OUR NE.
ANOTHER DRY FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE UPPER
PATTERN BECOMING HIGHLY AMPLIFIED BY THE END OF THE WEEK. PATTERN
WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY PRONOUNCED RIDGING OVER THE SW AND DEEP
TROUGHING OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE CONUS. ANOTHER DRY BOUNDARY WILL
BRING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL AIR TO THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND WITH
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN TO CLOSE OUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
WHILE DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED, TEMPERATURES WILL FLUCTUATE UP
AND DOWN WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SERIES OF BOUNDARIES MOVING
THROUGH.
