WE'RE STILL IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TODAY THAT WILL GRADUALLY
DEAMPLIFY AND RELAX OVER THE WEEKEND. WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TODAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL SWING THROUGH WITH A
CLIPPER SYSTEM THAT WILL PASS TO OUR NORTHEAST. NBM SHOWS SEMO, THE
KY PURCHASE REGION, AND THE SOUTHERN KY PENNYRILE AT A GREATER THAN
50% CHANCE OF SEEING 50+ DEGREES TODAY. EXPECT BREEZY NORTHWEST
WINDS ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT LATER TODAY.
IT WILL BE COLDER AGAIN TOMORROW BEHIND THE FRONT AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST AND TURNS WINDS TO THE
NORTHEAST. THE CHANCES OF SEEING 40+ DEGREES IS ESSENTIALLY CONFINED
TO WESTERN PORTIONS OF SEMO. AS THIS SFC HIGH MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY WINDS TURN BACK TO THE SOUTH ON SUNDAY KICKING OFF A WARMING
TREND THROUGH TUESDAY. SUNDAY'S HIGHS WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAY'S.
MONDAY THOUGH, NBM HAS A MAJORITY OF THE AREA AT A GREATER THAN 90%
CHANCE OF SEEING 50+ WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EVANSVILLE TRI-STATE
WHICH HAS A 30-70% CHANCE OF 50+. MOST OF SEMO, THE PURCHASE REGION,
AND SOUTHERN PENNYRILE HAVE A GREATER THAN 50% CHANCE OF SEEING 60+
ON MONDAY. TUESDAY IS EVEN BETTER WITH MAJORITY OF THE AREA AT A
GREATER THAN 60% CHANCE OF 60+ DEGREES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE
EVANSVILLE TRI-STATE AGAIN, WHICH HAS A 30-50% CHANCE OF 60+. WEST
OF POPLAR BLUFF EVEN HAS A 30-40% CHANCE OF 70+! LOWS ARE ABOVE
FREEZING ACROSS THE BOARD MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
A WEAKENING SOUTHERN STREAM TROF MOVES ALONG THE GULF COAST TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES RAMP UP TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY EVENING (40-
60%) AND THEN A COLD FRONT COMES THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. RIGHT
NOW NBM LINGERS RAIN CHANCES INTO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON (15-25%),
BEYOND THAT MODEL DISCREPANCY KEEPS WEAK POPS (15-20%) THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND INCREASES THEM AGAIN (20-30%) THURSDAY
EVENING INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IS A MESSY TIME PERIOD THAT WILL
HOPEFULLY RESOLVE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

A COLD FRONT WILL BRING NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 15-25KTS AND
MVFR CEILINGS AS IT PASSES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE MVFR
CEILINGS WILL LAG AN HOUR OR TWO BEHIND THE WIND SHIFT, BUT
SHOULD EVENTUALLY SETTLE IN EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER UNTIL
CLEARING OUT AFTER 06Z IN MOST LOCATIONS. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL
DIMINISH SOME WITH SUNSET, BUT SOME GUSTINESS IS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING.
