.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT
BIG FOCUS IN THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS WILL BE ON THE SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE OUT IN OKLAHOMA AND ITS ASSOCIATED BOUNDARY. CURRENTLY...
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY

DISCRETE CELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...THINGS WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE INTO
LINE SEGMENTS.

SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION SWEEP NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS
ARKANSAS. THOUGH NO PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA IS EXEMPT FROM THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...IT APPEARS THE AREA WITH THE
GREATEST LIKELIHOOD WILL BE GENERALLY EAST OF A LINE FROM FLIPPIN...
TO HOT SPRINGS...TO ARKADELPHIA. IN THIS AREA...MOISTURE RETURN HAS
BEEN THE GREATEST...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 50S TO NEAR 60 DEGREES

VALLEY.

AFTER THE FRONT EXITS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING...COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BLOW IN ON CONTINUED
SOUTHWEST SURFACE FLOW. WINDS MAY BE A LITTLE GUSTY OVER THE DELTA
REGION/PRAIRIES OF EASTERN ARKANSAS DURING THE DAY.

UPPER LOW WILL MEANDER AROUND THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE MID SOUTH
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM PERIODS. THIS WILL ENHANCE CLOUD
COVER...KEEP SMALL CHANCES OF SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST...AND ACT TO
LOWER TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY DAYTIME HIGHS. BY SATURDAY...
TEMPERATURES WILL BE ANYWHERE FROM FIVE TO TEN DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE
FOR MID MARCH.
&&
