Isolated PM Storms, Warmer

Low clouds and patchy fog have kept temperatures in the mid 60s this morning. The fog should dissipate after 9 a.m., but use caution driving to work or school before this time. A large convective complex is moving through Arkansas and northern Louisiana this morning, but this should remain to our southwest today. In the upper levels, the disturbance that was around yesterday is to our east and will continue moving east. Subsidence on the backside of this feature will keep us dry until late this afternoon and evening as a new disturbance approaches the area. There should be enough lift to generate a few isolated thunderstorms, but most areas will remain dry. Skies will be partly cloudy this afternoon with highs topping out near 85. Skies will slowly clear tonight, but middle and high level clouds should increase after 2 a.m. as a stronger upper level disturbance approaches the state from the northwest. Lows should be able to drop to 63 tomorrow morning.
