LARGELY A PERSISTENCE FORECAST AS WE REMAIN ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY
OF AN ANOMALOUS RIDGE AXIS CENTERED IN VICINITY OF THE OZARKS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE RIDGE WILL SLOWLY PROGRESS EASTWARD,
BECOMING INCREASINGLY CENTERED OVER THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY TO
MID NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER, THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE RIDGING WILL BE
SOMEWHAT SUPPRESSED BY BOUTS OF ENERGY, LEADING TO FAIRLY STEADY
TEMPERATURE TRENDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
HIGH PRESSURE AND ASSOCIATED SUBSIDENCE WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DRY WEATHER. THE DRY AIR WILL KEEP MORNINGS
COOL AND AFTERNOONS PLEASANT. SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG WILL BE
POSSIBLE EACH MORNING, ESPECIALLY NEAR RIVERS AND LAKES. LIGHT
WINDS WILL HINDER ANY NOTABLE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS DESPITE LOW
AFTERNOON RHS.
