Taney Cty Wx work week 3!

After the warmer day Monday, temperatures will return to more seasonable levels for Tuesday, with highs in the 40s. We will need to watch for fog Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, as skies
finally begin to clear and high pressure moves overhead, resulting in light and variable winds for a time.

The area looks to be on the periphery of upper level ridging Wednesday, which will help boot temperatures into the 50s, with at least some sunshine. Additional rain chances may develop
Wednesday night through early Friday, as an upper level low pivots east over the Plains.

Forecast confidence going into the weekend is low at this point, with a rather messy upper level pattern expected over the CONUS. Several small shortwaves or closed upper level lows are forecast to be embedded within larger-scale troughing (is that even a word?) over the western and central US, and depending on timing and location of these features, rain chances may well return to the area over the weekend.

A more substantial warm up is expected Friday into Saturday as deep southerly to southwesterly flow will persist in the wake of the exiting upper low. Cloud cover could limit warming potential but still expect highs near 60 Friday and lower 60's Saturday. About frigging time too!
