Flash Flood Warning 26, NWS Little Rock, AR

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
320 PM CDT THU JUN 14 2001

OBVIOUS FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE WITH THE 1ST AND EARLY 2ND PERIODS
AS COLD FRONT MARCHES THROUGH THE STATE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.
MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING...THOUGH ETA/NGM SEEM JUST
A BIT SLOWER. THUS...WILL HOLD ONTO POPS INTO THE DAY FRI...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.

LOOKS LIKE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT...WITH
BEST CHANCES BEFORE MIDNIGHT OVER THE WEST AND AFTER MIDNIGHT
FURTHER EAST INTO CENTRAL...AND EVENTUALLY EASTERN AR. MISSING SOME
UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...BUT MID/LOWER LEVEL PARAMETERS AND
INSTABILITY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE STORMS IN EASTERN OK THIS
EVENING. SEVERE THREAT MAY DECREASE SOMEWHAT AFTER MIDNIGHT AS
HEATING WILL BE LOST AND MOST OF THE UPPER SUPPORT BRUSHES BY TO THE
NORTH. HOWEVER...STILL THINK SVR CHANCES ARE HIGH ENOUGH OVER THE
EASTERN ZONES TO WARRANT A MENTION IN THE ZONES.

WILL HANG ON TO POPS FRIDAY MORNING SOUTHEAST HALF. MAY EVEN BE
ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST ZONES FRI AFTERNOON
FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT...BUT THINK MOST OF THE FORCING WILL BE EAST
OF THE REGION BY THEN.

LOOKS HIGH AND DRY SAT-MON AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS BACK IN AND TAKES
RESIDENCE. AIR WILL BE A BIT DRIER SAT-SUN...BUT WILL HEAT UP WELL
IN THE AFTERNOON. COULD SEE SOME 30-35 DEGREE DIOURNAL TEMP CHANGES
OVER THE WEEKEND. WILL STAY CLOSE TO THE AVN/NGM MOS TEMPS.

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN
ARKANSAS...

A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NORTHERN
AND WESTERN ARKANSAS UNTIL 1 AM CDT.

DURING THE EARLY EVENING...A SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS STRETCHED
FROM NORTHWEST ARKANSAS INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS LINE PICKED UP
SPEED DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...AND WAS MOVING MORE QUICKLY
TO THE EAST.

THE MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IN THE WATCH AREA WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS...AND THERE COULD BE SOME LARGE HAIL AS WELL.

EVEN IN AREAS WHERE THE STORMS DO NOT INCREASE TO SEVERE LEVELS...
WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WILL BE COMMON.

THERE WILL ALSO BE A GREAT AMOUNT OF CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING AND
VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS. SOME PLACES WILL RECEIVE 1 TO 1 1/2 INCHES OF
RAIN IN AN HOUR...AND A FEW SPOTS COULD PICK UP 2 INCHES IN ONE
HOUR. RAINFALL OF THIS INTENSITY WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE SOME
FLOODING ON CITY STREETS AND COUNTY ROADS.

PEOPLE IN THE AREA COVERED BY THE SEVERE WEATHER WATCH SHOULD KEEP A
VERY CLOSE EYE ON THE WEATHER. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE IN
QUICKLY AND PRODUCE VERY GUSTY WINDS AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE AT A
