Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 4:00 AM CDT, 2 hours 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 400 AM CDT WED JUN 11 2003 UNSTABLE WEATHER PATTERN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. FAIRLY REPETITIVE PATTERN...WITH STORM SYSTEMS MOVING FROM CENTRAL PLAINS INTO AREAS JUST NORTH OF ARKANSAS. SYSTEMS DRAGGING FRONTS NEAR ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI BORDER...WITH FRONTS ACTING AS FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONE ROUND OF THUNDER THIS MORNING WILL AFFECT MAINLY NORTHERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE STATE. LOOKS LIKE THUNDER WILL PRETTY MUCH DRY UP THIS AFTERNOON...ALLOWING FOR HEATING/DESTABILIZATION OF ATMOSPHERE. APPEARS THAT ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDER WILL DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT...AND WOULD THINK THAT PRECIPITATION WILL STAY PRETTY CLOSE TO STALLED FRONT. GIVEN THIS...BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION IN NORTHERN/CENTRAL ARKANSAS WITH ONLY SCATTERED THUNDER FARTHER SOUTH WHERE ATMOSPHERE MORE CAPPED. WITH ROUNDS OF THUNDER WILL COME THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE WEATHER. NOT LOOKING FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS...WITH SPOTTY WIND DAMAGE/LARGE HAIL EXPECTED. ALSO...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES GETTING ABOVE 1.50 INCHES...AND THIS WILL MEAN CHANCE OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING. LOOKS LIKE THIS PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION MENTIONED THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY. FCSTID = 46 HRO 83 68 84 68 / 80 60 60 30 LIT 87 72 89 72 / 70 50 60 30 HOT 88 72 88 72 / 60 50 60 30 PBF 87 73 89 73 / 50 40 50 30 .LZK...NONE.
