.DISCUSSION...
(This evening through next Sunday)
Issued at 138 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2023

Upper-level water vapor imagery shows an upper level low centered
over Quebec with a broad upper trough axis digging south and
encompassing the east CONUS. 

Wind speeds around 10kts with gusting winds up to 15kts will
persist through the MidSouth this evening. A weak cold front in 
association with a shortwave trough will come through tonight and 
bring in slightly cooler temperatures for the northern half of 
the forecast area. Lows for tonight are expected to start in the 
upper 40s. 

Temperatures will continue to increase throughout the week as an
upper level ridge builds within the region. Highs are anticipated to warm 
into the upper 80s by midweek. 

A warm front will lift through the region starting Tuesday and 
bring in some moisture throughout. However, rain showers in 
association with the front stay mostly to the north of the 
forecast area. As the aforementioned front lifts, another warm 
front will lift through the Gulf of Mexico and introduce some rain
showers in the southeast CONUS. Model guidance shows showers 
ahead of the front remaining south of the forecast area. Pops were
still added into north MS in order to show slight chances of rain
entering the forecast area. 

On Friday, another cold front is expected to move across the 
region and bring in the greatest chance for rain showers area 
wide. Cooler temperatures and drier air conditions will follow 
into the weekend with highs dropping 10-15 degrees with readings 
in the 60s.
