Zonal flow will be in place across the southern CONUS this week as a broad, elongated upper level ridge (H) remains in place. As a result, mostly dry conditions and unseasonably warm temps will prevail through the week.
Forecast lows tonight into Wednesday morning will be in the upper 40s to upper 50s. Temperatures will warm for Thursday night into Friday morning, with lows in the mid 50s to mid 60s.
The potential for seeing above normal conditions increase within the period 6 to 10 days out over Arkansas (May 18-22). The potential for seeing above normal rainfall also increases during that same time frame.
