AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CAN BE SEEN IN WV IMAGERY THIS
MORNING MOVING SOUTH OUT OF THE MIDWEST STATES. MOSTLY MID
LEVEL CLOUDS ARE LEADING THIS WHICH SHOULD PUSH THROUGH THE
REGION EARLY THIS MORNING. SOUTHWEST FLOW AT THE SURFACE SHOULD
RESULT IN WARMING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.
OTHERWISE IT REMAINS QUIET TODAY AND TONIGHT AS THIS SYSTEM
PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. HIGHS WILL BE WARMER WITH MID 30'S
ACROSS THE NORTH, AND UPPER 40'S TO NEAR 50 ACROSS THE AR AND TN
STATE LINE. CLOUDS START TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON
FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM. HIGHS ON FRIDAY WILL
RISE INTO THE UPPER 40'S TO MID 50'S. A SOUTHERN STREAM
DISTURBANCE WILL LIFT OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE FRIDAY
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT WITH ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PRESSURE. RAIN
CHANCES WILL INCREASE LATE FRIDAY AND SPREAD EASTWARD BEFORE
ENDING SATURDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE AROUND A
QUARTER TO THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH. COLDER AIR WILL MOVE IN
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM AND CAN'T RULE OUT BRIEF FLURRIES AS THE
SYSTEM EXITS.
THE REST OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK WILL BRING MUCH
COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION. DEEP TROUGHING WILL ENCOMPASS MUCH
OF THE CONUS THROUGH THIS PERIOD WITH STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING OUT OF CANADA. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL TO WELL BELOW
NORMAL WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20'S SUNDAY INTO
TUESDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS TO
TEENS. THE COLDEST WIND CHILLS LOOK TO OCCUR SUNDAY NIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY MONDAY NIGHT WITH VALUES BETWEEN MINUS 5 AND FIVE
ABOVE ZERO. TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO WARM BY MIDWEEK AS ANOTHER
DISTURBANCE DEVELOPS TO THE WEST INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS
ALTHOUGH STILL WELL BELOW NORMAL.
