(Sunday Night through next Friday)
Issued at 139 PM CDT Fri May 10 2024

To begin the period, a pattern change is expected by Sunday night as 
an upper level trough dives down from the Central Plains and high 
pressure over the state begins to move off towards the east. This 
trough will track a closed low just north of the state bringing 
unsettled weather Sunday night through Wednesday morning. A brief 
break in the rain is expected before additional showers and 
thunderstorms return to the forecast by Thursday.

As of right now, severe weather chances appear low at this time but 
some strong storms cannot be ruled out. Changes to the forecast are 
possible so continue to check back for additional updates. What is 
known at this time is...it appears by the end of the weekend into 
early next week multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be 
possible across the Natural State.

Temperatures are expected to be in the 70s to mid 80s through the 
period with overnight lows dropping into the mid 50s to mid 60s.
