.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 327 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023

Today through tonight: Dry and seasonably cool weather is expected
to continue for the forecast area in the near term. A longwave
trough over the central/eastern CONUS will maintain cool/dry
northwest flow aloft and a continental polar airmass at the
surface. After a freezing start to the morning, sunny skies will
allow temperatures to rebound well into the 50s to lower 60s this
afternoon across the area. And with surface high pressure
centered over the southeast CONUS tonight, we should see
temperatures fall back to near or just below freezing. /EC/

Tuesday through Sunday night: Surface high pressure will continue
on Tuesday, with highs in the upper 50s. Little will change on
Wednesday and Thursday with slightly warmer temperatures. Highs on
Wednesday will be around 60 and in the low 60s by Thursday.
Expect one more dry day on Friday, but changes look on tap for the
weekend. Both the GFS/ECMWF have similar solutions over the
weekend, as they develop a Cut-off low and move it south of the
area. The movement of the low will dictate our rain chances
through the weekend. /15/
