.DISCUSSION...

Dry and mild conditions are expected again tomorrow as a ridge
shifts out of the Plains and across the Mississippi River Valley.
Temperatures will be a bit cooler tomorrow featuring highs in the
mid 60s to near 70 with slightly warmer temperatures returning 
Wednesday. 

By Wednesday morning the ridge will be centered over middle 
Tennessee and Alabama. As a result, deep southwest flow will 
setup from South Texas across the Midsouth. A closed midlevel low
will deepen as it moves across the Plains Wednesday and across 
the Midsouth Thursday. If this scenario pans out even remotely 
close to what multiple models are forecasting, we should see an 
extended period of light to moderate rain, probably with only 
minimal thunder. Expect rain to overspread the Midsouth midday 
Wednesday and continue through at least midday Friday. Any 
thunderstorms would be most likely Wednesday afternoon. Severe
storms do not look likely. An occluded front associated with the 
upper level low will move across the Midsouth Thursday. Some heavy
rain is possible Wednesday and possibly Thursday, but for now we 
are only expecting about an inch of rain Wednesday through Friday.
By Friday the low should be east of the Midsouth. Wrap around 
showers would most likely be light rain and or drizzle. 

The weekend looks drier. Our coolest temperatures out of the next
7 days should occur Saturday and Sunday mornings when we should 
see lots of temperatures in the middle to upper 40s. High 
temperatures are expected to be in the 60s Saturday into early 
next week.
