.DISCUSSION… Issued at 3:32 AM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024
Through Wednesday:
Weak cold front will continue moving across the area early this morning, but impacts are expected to be minimal. Air mass in the wake of the front is only a bit colder than antecedent air mass. So while it will be cooler than yesterday, high temps today are still expected to be mild. High cloudiness is expected today, especially southern CWA, but still anticipate some mixed sunshine.
Moisture streaming north well in advance of the approaching southern plains cyclone is expected to begin encroaching on the area Wednesday. First in the form of cloudiness, but eventually rain could develop later in the day south of I-80. There remains considerable spread in available guidance regarding timing and track of this system, with ECMWF among the fastest/farthest northwest, thus quickest to spread rain this far north. This is a sizable adjustment from earlier runs, so did increase pops, but only in a measured manner given the still large spread in guidance.
