.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 235 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024

The combination of upper level ridging and surface high pressure at
the surface across the eastern CONUS will provide tranquil weather
conditions to the region through early next week. Clear skies and
light winds are expected to continue. Temperatures will gradually
warm into next week, with lower 80`s expected by Wednesday. Lows
will also be warming up. A mid lvl cutoff low is expected to
lift out of the four-corners and move across the central plains
into mid week. Eventually this low gets picked up by deep
trough digging into the northern plains. This trough will drag a
front through the region late Wednesday with high pressure
building in behind it. Rain chances continue to trend even lower
from previous forecasts. Can`t rule out a few sprinkles but the
forecast will now feature dry weather through late next week.
The main changes associated with this front will be a cooler
airmass with highs falling into the mid 60`s to lower 70`s. Late
Friday and looking into the early weekend, a few upper level
disturbances are advertised to move through the region which may
provide a slight chance of rain which the NBM does suggest.
