(Tonight through Wednesday) Issued at 254 AM CDT Thu Oct 10 2024 The upper trough axis will continue to drift through the rest of the forecast area tonight and into Friday, with low chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms expanding some to the south later tonight and into Friday. This upper feature will dissipate during the day Friday so will not include PoPs after 18z. Warm weather will continue areawide into the weekend with a very warm afternoon expected Saturday ahead of an approaching cold front. The dry boundary will move through the area Sunday, though locations roughly south of I-40 wont see frontal passage until after peak heating, so another warm afternoon is expected for those locations. Cooler temperatures settle across the area by Monday, with a secondary/reinforcing push of cooler air arriving overnight Monday or early Tuesday. Some extended guidance indicates low QPF signals Tuesday, but will leave PoPs out at this time. Cool and dry weather is expected to prevail for the remainder of the forecast cycle. && .AVIATION...
