.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1235 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Winds are veering around to the southeast and should persist for
much of the week. As such, look for a gradual warming and
moistening trend to ensue as we head into midweek. Look for the
return of some late night clouds and early morning patchy fog
across inland locations. 

With the increase in llvl moisture and less subsidence aloft, we 
should be able to reintroduce some very low POPs for some 
locations closer to the coast on Tuesday, and slightly higher 
values Wednesday for more of the area. 

Wed night & Thurs, a lower amplitude trof will be skirting across
the Plains. PW's will be pooling between 1.5-1.8" along and to the
south of its trailing axis locally. Slightly better large scale 
lift should be in place during this time period, and this will be
the time period more favorable for scattered showers/storms across
most of the region...esp if any convection and/or associated
outflows decide to fire upstream and move into the area as some 
(but not all) deterministic guidance suggests.

Our second best shot of rain looks to occur late Saturday into
Sunday when a deeper trof moves across the cntl U.S. and it's
associated cold front and precip pushes through the region. This 
could make for some cooler conditions and wet ground for Easter 
morning egg hunts...but we're still a week out and timing/details
will probably change between now and then. 47

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAF Issuance)
Issued at 612 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2026

VFR conditions with light winds and some lingering patches of 
sct-bkn045 ceilings this evening. Guidance suggests cloud cover 
continuing to wane overnight. Southeast winds gradually increase 
during the morning on Sunday and into the 8-15kt range during the 
afternoon. Look for some fog development inland, moreso outside
the metro area, later Sunday night. 47

.MARINE...
Issued at 1235 AM CDT Sun Mar 29 2026

Winds will be swinging back around to the southeast tonight and
Sunday and persist for most of next week. The pressure gradient
tightens a bit toward midweek, so look for a gradual increase in
speeds and seas as the week progresses. Winds will generally be 
highest in the afternoon and evening in the bays, and during the 
overnight hours offshore. Caution flags might be needed 
intermittently offshore toward midweek. 47
