.DISCUSSION...
High pressure has settled into the region last night and with  
clear skies and light winds this morning... temperatures started 
out in the upper 20s around AEX with freezing temperatures as far 
south as LCH and BPT. But temperatures have rebounded nicely with 
mid to upper 50s this afternoon as winds have been relatively 
light. 

Dew points have been on the increase as high pressure has moved a
bit further to the east today. Tonight... skies will be clear and
the winds will become light allowing for excellent radiational 
cooling. Temperatures will be warmer as the dew points have come 
up a bit. This warming trend will continue into Saturday and 
Sunday. Saturday will be a excellent day to be outside as 
temperatures will reach near 70 for afternoon highs. Sunday will 
see clouds moving into the region during the morning hours with 
the chance of a few showers during the afternoon/ evening hours. 

By Monday the high pressure will be well of the Jacksonville coast
and moving deeper into the Atlantic as a cold front drops into
central Oklahoma. This next front slows as there is no real push
in the atmosphere until an upper lvl trof to the west begins to
move into west Texas on Tuesday. There will be a chance that a 
few storms could become severe ahead of the next system with the 
best potential in cntrl Louisiana. This front is prog to move to 
the south central Louisiana coast around daybreak on Wednesday 
morning. As the front pushes into the gulf... winds becoming 
northwest and very breezy with seas building.
