Scattered Thundershowers, Still Steamy

It's a very summerlike start to the morning as temperatures are running in the mid 70s. A weakening line of showers is actually passing to our north this morning and its associated cloud cover may block the sun for a short time this morning. It appears that we'll see off and on clouds for most of the morning, but the sun will be mixed with afternoon cumulus later. With the flattening upper air flow and a southward sagging cold front front approaching Northern Arkansas and Tennessee, we'll stand to see a better chance for afternoon thundershowers than anytime in the last 6 days. It won't be a washout by any means, but any shower that does pop up could provide some temporary relief from the heat later this afternoon. Speaking of the heat, it will be another hot day with an afternoon high around 91 again. By this evening, clouds will continue to linger around and another convective complex appears likely to develop across Western Arkansas. The upper air flow would steer this complex toward our area overnight, but I feel like it will be weakening as it approaches and it should arrive after sunrise tomorrow. It will remain very muggy overnight with a low of 72 in the morning.
