AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
154 PM CDT THU JUL 5 2007

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS FROM SOUTHERN
MISSOURI WILL CONTINUE TO SINK INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. FRONT WILL
NOT MAKE IT VERY FAR BEFORE STALLING OUT...AND EVENTUALLY WASHING
OUT. AT THE SAME TIME...UPPER LOW OVER CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST TEXAS WILL
MOVE SLIGHTLY NORTHEASTWARD...CONTINUING THE CHANCE FOR MOSTLY
DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...GREATEST POPS WILL BE OVER THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA...AS SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MOVES INTO
NORTHERN ARKANSAS BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.

INDICATIONS ARE THAT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...THE UPPER
LOW OR TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT MUCH OF THE MID SOUTH. THE
SYSTEM MAY BECOME MORE OF AN OPEN WAVE...AND PROGRESS SLIGHTLY
NORTHEASTWARD...BUT ITS PRESENCE WILL BE FELT IN THE FORM OF
CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES...INCREASED CLOUD COVER...AND NEAR TO BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
SOME KIND OF WEAK UPPER TROF REMAINS NEAR THE AREA THROUGH MUCH OF
THE PERIOD. MODELS KEEP TRYING TO DRIVE A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
AREA BY THE END OF THE PERIOD BUT HAVE NOT BEEN RIGHT ABOUT THIS FOR
SEVERAL WEEKS AND AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT IT THIS TIME. BASICALLY WENT
WITH MORE OF THE SAME WITH SOME MENTION OF A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD. DID TEND TO GO A LITTLE HIGHER ON
POPS DURING THE AFTERNOONS. DID NOT INDICATE MUCH CHANGE IN
TEMPERATURE WITH MINS AROUND 70 TO THE LOWER 70S AND MAXES IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S. DID HEDGE TEMPS DOWN A COUPLE OF DEGREES
TOWARD THE END OF THE PERIOD WHICH COULD RESULT FROM INCREASED
CLOUDS AS MUCH AS FROM THE EFFECTS OF ANY FRONT THAT MAY MANAGE TO
REACH THE AREA.
