DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED FLURRIES WORKING THERE WAY EASTWARD ACROSS THE MID STATE 
THIS AFTERNOON. SAT IMAGERY DOES SHOW CLEARING BACK ACROSS AR AND 
MS. OVERALL TREND IS FOR THAT CLEARING AREA TO EXPAND OUR WAY 
OVERNIGHT AS THE COLDER AIRMASS SETTLES IN. 

DEW POINTS ARE NOT TOO TERRIBLY LOW UPSTREAM AND THE POLAR SFC HIGH 
IS STILL LOCATED WELL TO OUR NORTH. THUS...LOOK FOR WEST/SW WINDS TO 
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPS FALLING TO A FEW DEGREE BELOW FREEZING 
BY 12Z SAT FOR MOST AREAS. 

PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO RETURN FOR SAT AND SAT NT. 850 MB TEMPS WILL 
BE QUITE LOW SO I WILL LEAN TOWARD THE COLDER MET NUMBERS FOR HIGH 
TEMPS SAT AND SUN. 

ON SUNDAY NT...A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. THIS 
COULD PRODUCE A FEW FLURRIES OR PERHAPS A LIGHT SNOW SHOWER SUNDAY 
NIGHT ACROSS NORTHERN ZONES AND THE PLATEAU. 

IN THE EXTENDED FCST...A SERIES OF WEAK SFC LOWS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS 
THE WESTERN GULF TUES THROUGH THU. THESE FEATURES WILL MOVE EAST AND 
ATTEMPT TO SPREAD MOISTURE NORTHWARD TOWARD TN. COLDER AIR WILL 
ARRIVE LATE IN THE WEEK SO WILL INCLUDE A SNOW RAIN MIX AS WE MOVE 
INTO THU AND FRI.

OVERALL...TEMPS LOOK TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE...PARTICULARLY DAYTIME 
MAX TEMPS.
