FOUR STATE AREA WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
400 AM CDT THU APR 18 2002

A FAIR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKY WEDNESDAY EVENING...GAVE WAY TO A MOSTLY 
CLOUDY SKY DURING THE NIGHT...AS CLOUDS INCREASED ACROSS THE FOUR 
STATES REGION. THIS WAS IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE AND A 
SOUTHERLY WIND OF 5 TO 10 MILES AN HOUR...THAT WAS NOTED OVERNIGHT. 
THE UNSEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES CONTINUED...AS PRE DAWN READINGS 
RANGED FROM THE MIDDLE 60S TO NEAR 70 DEGREES...SOME TEN TO FIFTEEN 
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.   

VARIABLE CLOUD COVER AND A GOOD SOUTHERLY WIND...WILL PREVAIL ACROSS 
THE FOUR STATES REGION FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THIS WILL ALLOW 
FOR THE SEASONABLY MILD TO WARM TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE INTO THE 
WEEKEND. AN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS AND THE 
BORDER SECTIONS OF NORTHEAST TEXAS FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. A WEAK 
COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES 
SATURDAY AND LINGER INTO SUNDAY. BUT EVEN WITH THIS BOUNDARY AND 
ABUNDANT WARM MOIST AIR OVER THE DEEP SOUTH...UPPER SUPPORT IS 
SOMEWHAT LACKING...THUS ONLY WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW  
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED. THE MAIN EFFECT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL 
BE A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
