A cold front stretches from near Jonesboro to Union City this
evening and is marked by an increase in northerly winds. The
front
will push through the remainder of the area overnight with clouds
and a few weak showers, mainly north of I-40.
Cool high pressure will build in for the remainder of the week
with highs mainly in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Expect some 40s
across northern sections especially on Friday morning. There is
about a 10 percent chance of seeing a reading in the upper 30s
along the KY border on Thursday morning.
Upper level ridging will strengthen over the Lower MS Valley this
weekend into next week. As a result, temps will start climbing
well above normal with mid 80s for highs by Monday continuing
well
into the next work week. No significant precipitation is on the
horizon.

FROPA ongoing at KMEM resulting in MVFR ceilings and gusty winds.
Post frontal MVFR ceilings will linger for a few hours before
scattering and/or lifting to VFR. Northerly winds will remain
elevated and gusty for much of the day due to a tight pressure
gradient, but all terminals should be back to VFR by this
afternoon.

few days. Fuels will gradually dry out as temperatures warm and
minimum relative humidities fall to between 35 to 45 percent this
weekend. This may result in a gradual increase in fire danger.
