.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 934 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

Rest of Today...Trough axis will swing through the region during the
course of the day.  Meanwhile, high pressure at the surface centered
to our north northwest this morning will continue to slide east of
the CWA.  This will result in a rather pleasant day across the
forecast area today, as highs range from the middle 60s north to the
lower 70s south, under sunny skies.

The ongoing forecast is in good shape.  Other than some minor
adjustments to hourly elements of the forecast based on current
trends, no major changes will be made to today`s forecast on this
morning`s update. /19/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 315 AM CDT Tue Apr 8 2025

No significant change to the forecast has occurred over the last
24 hours: 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/
