ONGOING CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO REMAIN JUST WEST OF ARKANSAS TAF SITES

DISCUSSION...
MORNING CONVECTION HAS DRIFTED INTO NRN AR...WITH OTHER SCT SHOWERS
NOTED ACROSS ERN KS. SUSTAINED AFTERNOON HEATING AND PRESENCE OF
SEWD MOVING MCV CURRENTLY OVER SERN KS SHOULD SUPPORT ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS ALONG THE INSTABILITY AXIS THAT
STRETCHES FROM NE OK INTO WRN AR. WILL TAKE A LAST LOOK AT RADAR
TRENDS BEFORE DECIDING ON FIRST PERIOD POPS.

WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY/MONDAY AS THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE REGION. MAV NUMBERS
CONTINUE TO LOOK TOO WARM ON AFTERNOON HIGHS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO
UNDERCUT THEM A FEW DEGREES.

LONGER RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER
RIDGING/MODEST NWLY FLOW DEVELOPING AROUND MID-WEEK. A WEAK FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SAG INTO THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY...LINGER FOR A DAY OR
TWO...THEN DISSIPATE OR LIFT N BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THERE REMAINS
SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TOO HOW FAR S ANY BOUNDARY WILL MAKE IT (TYPICAL
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR)...BUT CHANCE POPS ARE AT LEAST
WARRANTED...WITH BEST CHANCES RUNNING FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
