Tornado Warning 53, NWS Little Rock, AR

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
300 PM CST SAT DEC 3 2005

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
EXOTICALLY WARM TEMPERATURES HAVE INVADED THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND HIGH DEW POINTS. A COLD FRONT LIES TO THE
NORTHWEST AND APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE SLOWER THAN EXPECTED. THE AIR
MASS REMAINS CAPPED THIS AFTERNOON BUT THIS MAY ERODE TONIGHT AS THE
FRONT MOVES SOUTHEAST AND AN UPPER TROF BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE
WEST. SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP IN THE EXTREME
SOUTHEAST TONIGHT THEN MAY BACKBUILD INTO THE SOUTH LATER AS THE
UPPER TROF APPROACHES. WENT WITH LOW POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR
TONIGHT DUE TO THIS. STILL WENT CLOSE TO MAV MOS ON MINS FOR TONIGHT
ALTHOUGH TEMPS WILL START OUT MUCH WARMER THAN EXPECTED IN MOST
AREAS. GOOD COOLING STILL ANTICIPATED LATER TONIGHT. ON
SUNDAY...MOISTURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH A LITTLE AS THE SHORT WAVE
APPROACHES AND PUT SMALL POPS INTO CENTRAL SECTIONS WHILE KEEPING
CHANCE POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST. TEMPS SHOULD RISE LITTLE THROUGH THE
DAY AND MAY FALL DURING THE AFTERNOON IN SOME AREAS. CONTINUED SMALL
POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST FOR MOST OF SUNDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPS SLOWLY
FALLING. STILL LOOKS AT THIS TIME LIKE PRECIP SHOULD CUT OFF BEFORE
IT GETS COLD ENOUGH TO MIX OR CHANGE TO WINTER PRECIP. FOR MONDAY
COLD HIGH PRESSURE MOVES IN AT THE SURFACE WHILE THE UPPER LOW MOVES
BY TO THE NORTH. SOME MOISTURE REMAINS PRESENT AND THERE COULD BE
SOME CHANCE OF FLURRIES BUT LEFT IT OUT FOR NOW. MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT LOOK DRY AND COLD.
&&

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO DEVELOPMENTS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. ONE
THING LOOKS LIKELY...AND THAT IS A LARGE ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
WILL DOMINATE THE AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN VERY COLD TEMPS WITH
MINS IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S IN THE NORTH AND WELL DOWN INTO THE
20S ELSEWHERE WITH MAXES IN THE 30S IN THE NORTH AND NOT MUCH INTO
THE 40S ELSEWHERE IF EVEN THAT WARM. THERE STILL COULD BE A FEW WEAK
SHORT WAVES MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WHICH COULD RESULT IN LIGHT WINTRY
PRECIP. TIMING OF THESE IS VERY TOUGH AT THIS POINT. GFS AND DGEX DO
INDICATE A SHORT WAVE AND SOME MOISTURE IN THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY AND WENT WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP THERE. GOING BY
TEMP FORECASTS...WENT WITH RAIN/SNOW MIX EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT THEN
ALL SNOW LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING THEN RAIN ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. LEFT REST OF THE EXTENDED DRY FOR NOW.
