AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
247 PM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERNS THIS FORECAST CYCLE ARE HEAVY RAIN THREAT WITH
FLOODING POTENTIAL. A BIT LOWER THREAT OF WINDS...MAINLY AT LAKE
WIND ADVISORY LEVELS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WITH STORMS
ROTATING IN THE SPIRAL BANDS.

GUSTAV CURRENTLY JUST NORTH OF KSHV...WITH ROTATING CONVECTION
BANDS MOVING OVER AR. MAIN THREAT HAS BEEN RAIN...WITH OVERALL
AMOUNTS COMING IN AROUND HALF TO ONE INCH...WHILE ISOLATED AMOUNTS
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES. INFLUX OF MOISTURE BACK TO THE GULF OF MEX
CONTINUES...AND RAIN PERIOD WILL BE TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE
TIME PERIOD OF THE RAIN WILL HELP LOWER THE THREAT OF MAJOR
FLOODING...BUT IF GUSTAV SLOWS...HIGHER RAIN AMOUNTS MAY BE SEEN.
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS HELD OVER SE MS...WITH GREATER DYNAMICS
AND INSTABILITY. CLOUD COVER AND STRATIFORM RAIN SHOULD HOLD
POTENTIAL LOWER...HOWEVER...STARTING TO SEE SOME DEVELOPMENT ALONG
THE NORTHERN SPIRAL BAND OVER NORTHERN AR.

LAKE WIND ADV AND FLASH FLOOD WATCHES WERE UPDATED EARLIER TO FINE
TUNE WORDING...AREAS...AND TIMING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
WIND AND RAIN MAIN CONCERN NEXT 48 HRS. GFS LOOKS TO HAVE THE BEST
TRENDS ON GUSTAV...AS IT MOVES IT NORTH TO OVER THE ARKLATEX..THEN N
TO NE INTO WEDNESDAY ALONG THE OK/AR STATE LINE. THURSDAY THE GFS
MOVES IT N TO NE OVER AR. NAM APPEARS TO HAVE THE SYSTEM TOO FAR
WEST. ALSO ON WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES...A THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT SAGS SOUTH TO MO. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WOULD WRAP
AROUND THE CIRCULATION CENTER...AND SPREAD INTO WEST AND CENTRAL
AR THROUGH THE PERIOD. HAVE KEPT RAIN AMOUNTS FROM 3 TO 6 INCHES
OVER MOST SPOTS...WITH ISOLATED 6 TO 8 INCHES. THE FRONT TO THE
NORTHWEST WILL HAVE SOME IMPACT ON MOVEMENT BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY
DOES EXIST IF IT WILL HOLD IT BACK OR THE UPPER TROUGH WILL PICK
IT UP. IF IT SLOWS...OF COURSE ADDITIONAL RAIN WOULD FALL OVER
AR...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTH TO NORTHEAST AREAS. WILL KEEP RAIN
CHANCES HIGH TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN GRADUALLY MOVE
THE HIGHEST AREAS TO THE NORTH THURSDAY. TEMPS WILL BE COOLER THAN
NORMAL DUE TO CLOUDS AND RAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
A LONG WAVE TROF WILL LINGER OVER THE CENTRAL SECTION OF THE
COUNTRY FOR FRIDAY...THEN THE FLOW WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. NEXT ANOTHER WEAK TROF ATTEMPTS TO MOVE
INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL KEEP THE SURFACE PATTERN WITH SMALL POPS
FOR THE FIRST 24 HOURS. THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE RAIN CHANCES
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING WHEN A COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH AND DRIFTS
SLOWLY THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA...REQUIRING 20 TO 30 PERCENT
POPS. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN NEAR NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE GUSTAV WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA
TODAY...AND FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT OVER WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. THIS INCLUDES AREAS SOUTH OF A WALDRON...TO HOT
SPRINGS...TO MONTICELLO LINE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE TWO TO
FOUR INCHES ACROSS THIS AREA...WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA.

ALSO...SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM...AS THERE
WILL BE TURNING OF WINDS WITH HEIGHT. AREAS SOUTH OF A FORT SMITH TO
SEARCY LINE ARE UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES BEING THE PRIMARY CONCERNS.

WITH THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH OF THE STATE...WINDS WILL
BE GUSTY TODAY OVER THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE STATE. AS SUCH...A
LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE STATE INTO WEDNESDAY...AS
THE AREA OF RAINFALL MOVES TO THE NORTH AND EAST. A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR MUCH OF
THE STATE...INCLUDING AREAS WEST OF A LINE FROM MOUNTAIN HOME TO
STUTTGART. AVERAGE RAINFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN
AREAS WILL BE TWO TO FIVE INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS.

PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS COULD RECEIVE MORE THAN
EIGHT INCHES OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM. RIVERS...SMALL STREAMS...AND
LOW WATER CROSSINGS ACROSS THIS AREA COULD SEE RAPID RISES DUE TO
THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL.

SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY...AS THE STATE
WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM. DAMAGING
WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL ONCE AGAIN BE THE SEVERE WEATHER
CONCERNS.

A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE STATE FROM THE NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV AWAY
FROM ARKANSAS. HOWEVER...IT WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR MORE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WITH THE TROPICAL MOISTURE...AND MAY
PROLONG THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE STATE THROUGH THURSDAY.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT RESIDENTS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECASTS...INCLUDING WATCHES AND WARNINGS...FROM YOUR
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE REGARDING THIS FLOODING AND SEVERE WEATHER
SITUATION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED TODAY...WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

...GUSTY WINDS CAUSING SOME TREES TO FALL...

NOW THAT THE GROUND IS SATURATED IN MOST OF THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS
OF ARKANSAS...THE WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMAINS OF GUSTAV ARE
BRINGING SOME TREES DOWN.

MAXIMUM WIND GUSTS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN IN THE 30 TO 35 MPH RANGE...
AND THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MPH. EVEN SO...WITH
THE SOGGY GROUND...TREES ARE BEING BROUGHT DOWN IN SOME AREAS.

THE SHERIFFS OFFICE IN DREW COUNTY REPORTED THAT MANY TREES HAVE
BEEN FELLED.

C AND L ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE HAS REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH TREES
BRINGING DOWN POWER LINES IN THEIR SERVICE AREA...WHICH INCLUDES
PARTS OF GRANT...CLEVELAND...LINCOLN...DESHA...DREW AND BRADLEY
COUNTIES.

AGAIN...THESE WINDS ARE BEING CAUSED BY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
REMNANTS OF GUSTAV...NOT THUNDERSTORMS.

WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT TONIGHT...SO MORE FALLEN
TREES AND POWER OUTAGES CAN BE EXPECTED.

MOTORISTS SHOULD BE ON THE ALERT FOR LIMBS AND TREES ON SOME
ROADWAYS.
