BITTER COLD START THIS MORNING WILL CEDE TO A SLIGHTLY WARMER DAY 
TODAY AS SFC RIDGE SLOWLY SHIFTS TO THE EAST. TEMPS WILL CONT TO 
GRADUALLY WARM THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SEVERAL DISTURBANCES WILL ALSO 
MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE SPLIT FLOW ACROSS THE

SOME DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN WITH ONE OF THESE DISTURBANCES SATURDAY. 
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN/FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN 
PORTIONS OF THE FA. HOWEVER... AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT 
ENOUGH THAT NO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

MODELS SHOW ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS 
EARLY NEXT WEEK THAT WILL PHASE INTO THE TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE INTO 
THE EASTERN U.S. IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE SPLIT FLOW. THIS WILL
