Discussion
An upper-level ridge of high pressure will continue to result in dry, warm conditions, but important changes are coming. A deep upper-level low will push eastward by Thursday dragging a cold front into the Mississippi Valley. This front will slow down as it reaches this area and that stalling pattern will allow for the possibility of a significant rain event here as well as a threat for severe weather including possible tornadoes. The most likely timing on Thursday for the greatest severe weather threat will be during the afternoon and evening hours. The good news is that this strong system will push out of here for the upcoming holiday weekend.
