DISCUSSION

OVERALL H500 PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN IN PLACE THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS WITH CUTOFF LOWS ON EITHER END OF THE CONUS DIVIDED BY
STEEP RIDGING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY. EXTENDING EAST
FROM THE WESTERN US CYCLONE IS A MID-LEVEL TROUGH AXIS FROM SE
COLORADO TOWARD HOUSTON, TX. THIS FEATURE WILL STRUGGLE TO LIFT
NORTH AS IT WORKS AGAINST THE RIDGE IN PLACE ACROSS THE UPPER MS
RIVER VALLEY.
AT THE SFC, AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHEAST OK WILL ALSO
SLOWLY LIFT NORTH THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. WITH THESE FEATURES IN
PLACE, WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE STATE AND SURROUNDING AREAS. AS PW VALUES APPROACH OR
EXCEED 2.00" AT TIMES ACROSS THE AREA, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
BE POSSIBLE.
LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT CAMS SUGGEST ADDITIONAL BANDS OF
PRECIP DEVELOPING TO THE EAST OF THE LOW (ACROSS AR), PERSISTING
THROUGH AT LEAST THE LATE EVENING HOURS. SOME LOCALIZED SWATHS OF
HEAVY PRECIPITATION ARE LIKELY, BUT CONFIDENCE IN LOCATION AND
AREAL EXTENT REMAIN LOW. SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY EVENING, SOME
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN.
MID-LEVEL RIDGING WILL BECOME MORE DOMINANT ACROSS THE REGION
BY LATE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL LIMIT PRECIP
COVERAGE. THIS WILL ALSO LEAD TO SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES AS
WELL. CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF THE
PATTERN THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS GUIDANCE REMAINS
VARIED.
