Not much change across the region this morning, with upper ridging
still in place over the Plains between two upper lows over the
Southeast and Southwest. Surface high pressure has moved a bit to
our southeast, bringing in a slight southerly component to low-level
winds. A few high clouds are also moving in ahead of a decaying cold
front. This should help make for less shallow fog compared to the
past couple sunrises, though still expect a bit given the light
winds and mid-50s temperatures.
The quiet weather will continue for the next week as both upper and
surface ridging stay centered nearby. Diurnal temperature spreads
will stay fairly large, with highs mostly in the mid 80s and lows in
the 50s. Should see an increase in cloud cover Monday into Tuesday
as the Southwest upper low moves east onto the Plains and becomes
sheared out, but the effects of this will be limited to just
slightly cooler afternoons and slightly warmer nights. Starting to
see some hints of the upper ridge finally moving off to the east
with stronger troughing developing to our west. However even if so,
this likely wouldn`t be until later next weekend, beyond the end of
the current forecast period.

bit more patchy ground fog towards sunrise, mainly again near KTOP.
Otherwise, VFR conditions prevail with light southwesterly winds
becoming more northerly by evening.
