.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 309 PM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025

Tonight through Tuesday: The upstream low level thermal trough
will begin to weaken and become less defined, and this will result
in decreasing cold advection and low cloud cover as we go through
the near term. With the surface ridge moving across the area Tue
night, we`ll set up favorable conditions for cooling and would
not rule some frost out for portions of north central into eastern
MS. Otherwise, expect quiet weather conditions with below normal
temperatures early this week. /EC/

Mid to late week: Overall there`s not a whole lot to talk about
meteorologically beyond the sharp cooldown early this week. We
will see a brief but welcome surcease to brisk polar winds, in
turn bringing a rebound to mid 70 highs Wednesday and Thursday.
There will be yet another front pushing across the American South
late Thu into Friday, the tail end of which will brush our
eastern peripheries; catalyzing another bout of northerly winds.
While we will be spared the brunt of the typical convective
activity associated with this front, a chance for showers and
thunderstorms east of I-55 can not be ruled out ahead of it.
Another bout of cold air following behind this front will continue
to suppress our temperatures below seasonal norms for the
remainder of the week. Sunday will see temperatures rebound back
into seasonal norms spurned by the resurgence of Gulf flow
establishing itself across the region. Highs will range in the mid
to high 70s with overnight lows bottoming out in the mid upper
50s. /OAJ/
