912 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Upper-ridging continues to influence the Four State Region this evening as clear skies prevail. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer this evening when compared to last night, so thinking is that the afternoon package will remain on track and lows by tomorrow AM will be in the low to mid 70's. RK (This evening through Saturday Night) Quiet weather is expected to continue over the next 36-hours, as high pressure ebb and flows off to our west. Due to this ridge, winds will continue to hover between 5-10 MPH in the afternoon, with very limited to speak of in the cloud department as well.
451 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This afternoon through Saturday night) WV imagery shows the upper ridge centered over Texas and New Mexico this afternoon, buttressed by a trough off the coast of Baja del Sur. Diurnal heating and upslope flow will hopefully develop convection out over the higher terrain this afternoon/tonight, bringing a little relief to drought- stricken areas there. Saturday, although the ridge is forecast to shift to the Gulf coast, thicknesses won't move much, and afternoon highs will look very similar to today. Diurnally-driven orographic convection is once again anticipated, only this activity may edge a little farther out onto the plains with the shifting of the ridge to the coast. This will also allow the Baja trough to move inland, making it's presence felt all the more here.
1047 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A cold front will move across the area tonight.
1000 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Persistent Northwest flow aloft with a few embedded upper level troughs will keep it cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
744 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 In the wake of the exiting cold front, weak high pressure will move in with less humid air for the weekend.
857 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry through Saturday as high pressure builds over the region.
Issued by National Weather Service Little Rock AR 646 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through next Friday) High pressure is currently moving over the mid-south this Fri afternoon. This high pressure will slide east tonight into Sat. POPs look to remain on the low side on the SRN/SERN sections of the area into Sat afternoon. flow aloft will be NW over the region with an upper trough over the ERN CONUS.
906 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Dry weather will continue tonight as high pressure persists.
634 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Cooler and dry tonight and Saturday under high pressure.
1013 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Cooler and dry overnight and Saturday under high pressure.
Temperatures this afternoon reached in the low to mid 90s with two of our sites tying their record high temperatures for the date. Mild and humid once again tonight, with lows in the low to mid 70s.
1100 PM EDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Persistent Northwest flow aloft with a few embedded upper level troughs will keep it cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
KEY MESSAGES: - Clouds will continue to dissipate this morning under high pressure. -------------------------------------------------------------- Warm air, associated with building ridge over Indiana/western Ohio, will continue to track east early this morning and dissipate any lingering clouds across the region. Quiet, dry, and near-normal temperatures are expected to prevail into Saturday evening under high pressure.
Will continue to reevaluate in upcoming packages, but given the lower rain chances, might have to go with short-fused TEMPOs once TSRA develops. Temperatures this afternoon reached in the low to mid 90s with two of our sites tying their record high temperatures for the date. Mild and humid once again tonight, with lows in the low to mid 70s.
(Today through Sunday) High pressure dominates both upper and lower levels of the atmosphere through Sunday keeping the area dry and hot. As the high pressure shifts eastward, winds rotating around the high will become southerly this afternoon. High temperatures will be in the low to mid 90s both days, but daytime humidities will be relatively low, on the order of 50%, so the Apparent Temperature stay in the low 100s.
A few disturbances will rotate east around the ridge, resulting in showers and storms to our north, with just mid to upper level clouds spreading southward into our north. High temperatures will range from the upper 80s north and northeast to the low 90s south and southwest. On Sunday, a trailing cold front will push southward through the Tennessee Valley.
While temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend, the daily high temperatures will not be quite as hot as they have been the past few days as the ridge starts to break down and push to the east. Over the weekend, the ridge over Arizona will weaken and shift east. This, combined with a weak trough settling in place to our west will help bring some small relief to our current heat. While POPs decrease for the weekend, high based convection is still possible with greatest odds over and near the White Mountains, though anything isolated forming over the higher terrain can not be totally ruled out.
136 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Weak high pressure builds in to our south tonight through Saturday.
449 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Quiet, dry weather is expected through early Sunday under high pressure. A passing cold front will return light precipitation to the region early Sunday morning. -------------------------------------------------------------- Warm air, associated with building ridge over Indiana/western Ohio, will continue to track east early this morning and dissipate any lingering clouds across the region. Quiet, dry, and near-normal temperatures are expected to prevail into Saturday evening under high pressure.
235 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 An upper low moving overhead will bring chances of showers and few thunderstorms today, especially during the afternoon hours. Somewhat unsettled weather remains possible into midweek as upper level lows remain persistent over the region. A large scale upper level trough will remain over the region today. A couple showers may linger tonight, however a brief period of ridging aloft may limit any precipitation. Yet another trough will cross the region on Sunday. It will be slightly cooler with high temperatures mainly in the 60s to lower 70s. The overall pattern across the northeast in the extended will continue to consist of moist cyclonic flow due to upper level low pressure lingering across the northeast US and southeast Canada.
1210 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (Tonight through Saturday night) Mid-level high pressure is in control through the entirety of the short term forecast.
(Today and tonight) The upper high has won the battle with tonight's convection with storm outflow failing to develop/sustain convection as it moves into our northern zones. The main difference is the center of the upper high will settle over the GOMEX by this afternoon. Despite the upper high being further southeast, highs today will still be near 100 degrees F this afternoon as thicknesses have little change.
Cold front will sink southward through the midstate Sunday night and end precip chances from north to south.
Highs today will be a little cooler than yesterday due to the easterly surface flow, with readings in the mid to upper 70s. the flow pattern will be transitioning as mid level flow turns from cyclonic to westerly with high pressure building over the southern Rockies. Increasing cloud cover will also mean somewhat cooler temps. Somewhat cooler temps the next few days will mean rivers leveling off a bit.
200 AM PDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Slightly cooler but still above normal temperatures continue through the weekend. - Slightly cooler this weekend with just some localized Moderate HeatRisk, mainly over the northern and central Sacramento Valley.
1156 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (Tonight) Clear/quiet conditions prevail across the mid TN Valley this Fri evening, as high pressure gradually settles eastward into the region.
144 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Persistent Northwest flow aloft with a few embedded upper level troughs will keep it cooler, breezy and pleasant heading into the weekend with low humidity.
High pressure and dry conditions will persist today.
216 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 High pressure will promote dry conditions through Saturday night. A cold front tracks into the area Sunday with scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly in the mountains.
354 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 High pressure will be over the area through early Sunday.
412 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Outside of scattered showers across northern counties, mostly quiet weather today as weak high pressure builds into the region.
140 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Dry weather will continue tonight as high pressure persists.
The marine layer will mostly fluctuate between 2000 and 2500 feet deep, keeping coastal areas cooler with night and morning coastal low clouds extending inland into portions of the valleys. High pressure over the western US will weaken through the weekend and the upper low over Baja will open up into a wave and move inland, while another low pressure system forms offshore.
(Today and tonight) High pressure aloft centered over West Central Texas will begin to slowly shift to the southeast today, gradually shifting southerly flow aloft to a more southwesterly fetch across the area. This will keep warm and dry conditions across the region through the short-term forecast, with afternoon high temperatures ranging in the mid 90s to near 102 and overnight lows in the low to mid 70s.
332 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 A low pressure system and cold front will move east across the Great Lakes tonight. Another secondary cold front will move through Sunday night.
Another short wave trough was moving across Utah and Western Wyoming at 07Z. Temperatures today will be cooler than yesterday, especially across far northern Kansas where highs will be in the lower 80s, while areas south of I-70 warm into the mid to upper 80s. Precipitation moves out of the far southeast Sunday morning with decreasing clouds as high pressure builds in from the north.
(Today through Sunday Night) There should be some subtle changes to the forecast this weekend for SE TX as high pressure moves east of the area. This will allow for a deepening onshore flow to develop, and in turn, a return of moisture/ humidity at the low levels. as the highs today range from the lower to mid 90s, to "just" the lower 90s for tomorrow. Otherwise, lows should run in the lower to mid 70s tonight and tomorrow night.
151 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Dry high pressure over the area Saturday gives way to a a cold front and returning shower and thunderstorm chances on Sunday.
Meanwhile, south winds wl cont to increase acrs the FA today, allowing high temps to top out in the lower and mid 90s at most locations. Current thoughts are that the highest PoPs wl rmn concentrated over the north half of the FA Sun and Sun night.
1209 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (This evening through Saturday) Current water vapor imagery shows the upper level ridge and associated high pressure system over portions of West Texas this afternoon. Otherwise, the short term forecast looks to remain hot and dry as the center of the upper level ridge moves over the South Plains region early this weekend. Precipitation chances begin to increase as we head into the evening and overnight hours on Saturday as the center of the upper level ridge shifts eastward and disturbances in the flow aloft prevail.
Overall a hot weekend with beautiful conditions expected along the beaches of the lower Texas coast.
Mid level ridging will continue to prevail across the Southern Plains on Saturday with mostly sunny skies expected and temperatures again climbing into the mid and upper 90s. Southerly winds will become breezy by afternoon thanks to modest mixing and this should result in dewpoints falling into the low/mid 60s. The upper ridge will begin to shift eastward Saturday night into Sunday which will result in slightly "cooler" conditions on Sunday as forecast highs are expected to top out in the lower 90s.
Ridging over the Pacific Northwest will continue to bring pleasant and dry conditions through today. Highs reach into the 80s across western Montana and low 90s for the lowest elevations of north-central Idaho.
Only noticeable change tomorrow, post-frontal passage, will be a relative drop in dew points, with areas in SE AL and SW GA dipping into mid to upper 50s dews, and inland FL areas dipping into the low 60s dews. (Saturday night through Sunday night) Upper ridging builds back into the area from our west with hot temperatures continuing. With ridging aloft, rain chances will remain quite low this weekend.
1235 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Upper-ridging continues to influence the Four State Region this evening as clear skies prevail. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer this evening when compared to last night, so thinking is that the afternoon package will remain on track and lows by tomorrow AM will be in the low to mid 70's.
Another weak trough is currently stretched from Tampa Bay up through Jacksonville. This trough will continue to make it way through Florida today. Behind the trough there will be some drier air however we will still see an uptick in moisture ahead of it. Ridging will remain in South Florida on Sunday with a West to Southwest Flow. Heat will be a concern for our weekend with highs in the low to mid 90's and heat index in the low 100's for most of us.
1207 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (This evening through Saturday) The center of upper level high pressure will slowly move east, bringing the region into weak southwest flow aloft Saturday. West Central Texas, however, will still be dominated by the upper high pressure with warm and dry conditions.
The current synoptic weather pattern across the CONUS is defined by a mid level low over southern Ontario with associated troughing over the eastern Great Lakes into portions of northern Appalachia with a mid level high over Texas. At the surface, high pressure remains in place overhead, with generally fair skies, temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, and a southerly breeze.
234 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 High pressure advertises dry and pleasant weather today. Precipitation chances return early Sunday with a cold front. Another dry day is on tap for the start of the weekend with the aid of nearby high pressure. A weak cold front arriving Sunday morning will yield mainly light rain across the region with perhaps a few rumbles of thunder across our southern counties.
300 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 - A couple rounds of showers and storms are possible through this evening, with the highest chances being this morning. Broad northwest flow is positioned over a good portion of the country to start the weekend, which will keep things somewhat cooler than normal the next several days. Upper ridging amplifies over the western CONUS at the start of the new week, with central Illinois remaining under northwest flow. Upper ridging over the southwest US will allow mid-level heights to increase through late in the week, turning temperatures more summer-like late in the week. These ceilings should clear behind a cold front crossing the area between 22z Saturday and 03z Sunday.
- Cooler weather is expected this weekend with high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s.
347 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Dry through Saturday as high pressure builds over the region. A slow moving trough approaches from the Great Lakes Saturday night into Sunday leading to more unsettled conditions. High pressure will move to the south of the area today. Lows tonight will be a bit milder with temperatures in the lower to middle 60s. A weak cold front will slide across the area Sunday and bring a chance for showers and a few thunderstorms. Highs Sunday will reach the lower to middle 80s with 70s mainly in the mountains.
The upper level ridge is currently centered over the TX panhandle with ridging extending over the CWA. Over the course of the short term period, the ridge will move directly overhead then over the gulf with near zonal to WNW flow setting up by the end of the period (Sun Night). Closer to the surface we have the area of high pressure centered east of the ArkLaTx. While the ridge should suppress most of the activity, we could see some diurnal activity late in the weekend over the waters and in the southern half of the CWA. Otherwise, expect increasing dewpoints to yield warmer heat indices in the 97 to 104 range.
243 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Weak high pressure will settle over the region today, then drift offshore and weaken early Sunday. A passing disturbance and approaching cold front will cross the region late Sunday and Sunday night. Weak high pressure will be over the region today.
1213 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (Tonight through Saturday night) Rain-free conditions and slightly above normal temperatures will persist across Deep South Texas as the region remains under the influence of the mid-level ridge.
The Cowboy State will once again be squeezed between an upper level ridge to the west and an upper low/elongated trough to the north over Canada. The ridge will have more of an influence over the region, keeping temperatures about 10 degrees above normal.
High pressure will gradually break down this weekend as a trough approaches the West Coast, ending the worst of the heat wave. Surface obs showed locally gusty winds under and around the dying convection and temperatures a few degrees cooler than 24 hours ago.
1126 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 (This evening through Saturday Night) With the high pressure over our area, expect some more hot and dry weather for both today and tomorrow.
Discussion: Dry has has built in as high pressure is centered over the area, with dewpoints in the 50s and plesantly cool overnight temperatures. The high will shift east of the mountains today, allowing a more southerly low level flow and slightly warmer temperatures compared to yesterday. Another upstream MCS is expected to develop this afternoon and track east tonight ahead of a cold front.
(Now through Sunday) A dry and mild night continues across the region, with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the lower to mid 70s. An upper ridge remains anchored over the northern Gulf Coast, with an area of high pressure building just south of the coast. This will keep dry conditions in place through the weekend, as high pressure maintains its hold on the sensible weather pattern. Temperatures will be near to slightly above normal through the period, with highs today warming into the lower to mid 90s.
227 AM MDT Sat Jun 8 2024 KEY MESSAGES: - A stalled low pressure system over Saskatchewan will dictate our sensible weather in Northeast Montana now through Sunday.
With highs in the high 80s, another beautiful early summer day is ahead of us.
955 PM PDT Fri Jun 7 2024 Warmer and drier conditions will continue through Saturday, with a weak system sliding through Sunday for a small chance of showers and thunderstorms. Tonight through Sunday Night: An upper ridge will remain over the region into Saturday for continued warm and dry weather. On Sunday the ridge weakens as a splitting and weak upper level trough swing through.
Due to the low dewpts. but chances return Sat night through Sun as a cold front moves south into the state.
1236 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (This afternoon through Saturday night) WV imagery shows the upper ridge centered over Texas and New Mexico this afternoon, buttressed by a trough off the coast of Baja del Sur. Diurnal heating and upslope flow will hopefully develop convection out over the higher terrain this afternoon/tonight, bringing a little relief to drought- stricken areas there. Saturday, although the ridge is forecast to shift to the Gulf coast, thicknesses won't move much, and afternoon highs will look very similar to today. Diurnally-driven orographic convection is once again anticipated, only this activity may edge a little farther out onto the plains with the shifting of the ridge to the coast. This will also allow the Baja trough to move inland, making it's presence felt all the more here.
- Slightly cooler temperatures with relatively light winds for the upcoming weekend. - Periodic chances for showers and storms heading into the new week, with temperatures forecast to rise near/above seasonal norms as upper level ridging builds across the western CONUS. CURRENT THROUGH TONIGHT: Dreary conditions continue across the region, with latest observations showing cloudy skies, scattered showers, and temperatures in the low to mid 70s. Temperatures look to be a touch cooler, with afternoon highs largely in the low to mid 70s under partly cloudy skies.
634 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Outside of scattered showers across northern counties, mostly quiet weather today as weak high pressure builds into the region.
Discussion: Dry has has built in as high pressure is centered over the area, with dewpoints in the 50s and pleasantly cool overnight temperatures. The high will shift east of the mountains today, allowing a more southerly low level flow and slightly warmer temperatures compared to yesterday. Another upstream MCS is expected to develop this afternoon and track east tonight ahead of a cold front.
1006 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Weak high pressure will settle over the region today, then drift offshore and weaken early Sunday. A disturbance and approaching cold front will cross the region late Sunday and Sunday night. Morning satellite imagery and surface analysis reveals high pressure across eastern TN, with dry weather across the majority of the eastern CONUS.
707 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 - Isolated showers possible today with the highest chances (20 percent) over the northwest and west-central (Crosby, Williston, Watford City, Killdeer, Beach, Medora).
This afternoon, showers and thunderstorms will once again develop on the High plains of Colorado with easterly/upslope flow expected in Kansas and eastern Colorado north of a front that is expected to lie across southern Kansas or possibly northern Oklahoma this afternoon.
334 AM MDT Sat Jun 8 2024 Quiet weather conditions today with cooler temperatures across North Central Montana this weekend.
The associated 700-mb trof axis interacting with a 35-45KT low level jet over an area of warm advection was allowing for convection to develop. though isolated to widely scattered showers/storms were developing/occurring along the low level jet axis within an area of low level moisture convergence over Northeast Oklahoma. the concern will be the warmer and more humid conditions across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas as the CWA will be just south of a surface boundary progged to set up over Southern Kansas. This moisture combined with 850-mb temps in the 20-25C range will create afternoon temps in the low/mid 90s and heat index values of upper 90s to around 104 deg for the CWA.
638 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2024 High pressure will promote dry conditions through Saturday night. A cold front tracks into the area Sunday with scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly in the mountains.
A warm, moist start to the morning will give way to a an even warmer and moister afternoon.
604 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 (Today and tonight) The upper high has won the battle with tonight's convection with storm outflow failing to develop/sustain convection as it moves into our northern zones. The main difference is the center of the upper high will settle over the GOMEX by this afternoon. Despite the upper high being further southeast, highs today will still be near 100 degrees F this afternoon as thicknesses have little change.
539 AM CDT Sat Jun 8 2024 - A couple rounds of showers and storms are possible through this evening, with the highest chances being this morning. Broad northwest flow is positioned over a good portion of the country to start the weekend, which will keep things somewhat cooler than normal the next several days. Upper ridging amplifies over the western CONUS at the start of the new week, with central Illinois remaining under northwest flow. Upper ridging over the southwest US will allow mid-level heights to increase through late in the week, turning temperatures more summer-like late in the week. MVFR ceilings become common by mid to late morning, sticking around until later this afternoon/evening when a cold front scours things out.
