DISCUSSION
 
 
ISSUED AT 125 PM CST WED DEC 18 2024  
 
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE AREA THROUGH  
TONIGHT. CLOUD COVER WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE.  
CLEARING HAS BEEN MUCH MORE EFFICIENT THAN WHAT THE NBM COULD  
COME UP WITH. THERE IS A CONSIDERABLE AREA OF CLOUD COVER FROM  
CENTRAL IL INTO CENTRAL MO MOVING SOUTH. DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE  
MUCH OF A DIURNAL DECREASE IN COVERAGE, SO WE MAY HAVE TO  
CONTEND WITH SOME CLOUDS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY FROM SOUTHERN IL  
INTO SOUTHWEST IN AND NORTHWEST KY.  
 
QUIET WEATHER THURSDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL. FRIDAY, A  
FAST MOVING SYSTEM WILL CUT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO  
VALLEY REGION. THE WESTERN EXTENT OF MORE SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL  
MOISTURE WILL CLIP OUR EVANSVILLE TRI-STATE COUNTIES AND COULD  
RESULT IN SOME FLURRIES. BETTER CHANCES WILL STAY OFF TO THE  
EAST. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY WEATHER RETURN FOR THE WEEKEND.  
TEMPERATURES WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  
 
A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED STARTING NEXT MONDAY.  
TEMPERATURES WILL BE MILDER, WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH AT  
LEAST THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE NBM IS LIKELY EXHIBITING  
A NORMAL TENDENCY OF HAVING RAIN CHANCES IN FOR TOO MANY  
PERIODS GIVEN THE RANGE OF MODEL SOLUTIONS. WE WILL ATTEMPT TO  
FINE TUNE AND IDENTIFY THE MOST LIKELY PERIODS FOR RAIN IN THE  
COMING DAYS.
