.DISCUSSION...
UPPER PATTERN WILL NOT CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE FORECAST.
RIDGE WILL LINGER OVER THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE COUNTRY WITH DEEP
LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST. THIS LEAVES ARKANSAS IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT WITH OCCASIONAL SHORT WAVES ROTATING IN THE FLOW. EACH SHOT
OF ENERGY WILL TRIGGER CONVECTION EITHER ALONG A WEAK SURFACE FRONT OR
AN MCS. THE SURFACE WILL BE MARKED BY SPANS OF COOL AND DRY AIR
REPLACE BY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR...EITHER WAY TEMPERATURES WILL
HAVE BE KNOCKED CLOSER TO NORMALS. POPS WILL BE TRICKY WITH THIS
PATTERN IN LIGHT OF THE PUSH AND SHOVE TAKING PLACE BETWEEN THE
RIDGE AND LARGE CYCLONE...SO TENDED TO GO LOWER THAN MOS NUMBERS.
