AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
250 PM CDT SAT APR 2 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
MOSTLY SUNNY AND RELATIVELY WARM DAY TODAY COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS
WORK WEEK...AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLED OVER THE STATE. STRONG WINDS
ALOFT HELPED MIX DRY AIR ALOFT TO THE SURFACE...WITH DEWPOINTS
FALLING SOME THIS AFTERNOON.

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE
A LITTLE WARMER AS THE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST AND SOUTH WINDS PICK
UP OVER THE STATE.

UPPER SYSTEM...CURRENTLY OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST...WILL QUICKLY
MOVE INTO THE ROCKIES TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL DEVELOP
IN THE UPPER MIDWEST AND TRAIL BACK INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. WARM
AIR AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL BE OVER ARKANSAS...AND WILL CAP THE
ATMOSPHERE...KEEPING RAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST DURING THE DAY ON
SUNDAY.

HOWEVER...STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT...AND
BECOME WINDY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. WILL ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA...AS WIND SPEEDS OF OVER 25 MPH WILL BE COMMON. IN
FACT...WIND SPEEDS WILL REMAIN HIGH THROUGH THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE...DUE TO STRONG ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER SYSTEM.

AS THE FRONT MOVES TOWARDS THE STATE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS LATE SUNDAY EVENING...AND THEN PROGRESS THROUGH THE STATE
MONDAY. THE MODELS ARE NOW COMING MORE IN LINE IN REGARDS TO TIMING
OF THE FRONT...AND CONTINUED THE TREND OF SPEEDING UP THE FRONT
SLIGHTLY. WHILE THERE COULD BE SEVERE WEATHER...MAINLY DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...THE PREFERRED AFTERNOON TIMING FOR A LARGE
SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS NOT AS LIKELY. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL...ESPECIALLY FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
STATE...AS MOISTURE WILL BE ABLE TO POOL AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER THE
DELTA.

WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT WIND SPEEDS WILL
REMAIN GUSTY. THE WIND ADVISORY WILL GO THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS
MONDAY DUE TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH THE FRONT...BUT WILL NOT BE
QUITE AS STRONG AS SUNDAY. TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH MULTIPLE WIND
HEADLINES...WILL KEEP EVERYTHING A WIND ADVISORY FOR NOW...AND LATER
SHIFTS CAN ADJUST AS NEEDED.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE A CHALLENGE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...DUE TO THE
WIND AND ASSOCIATED TEMPERATURE ADVECTION. HAVE GONE A COUPLE OF
DEGREES WITHIN GUIDANCE FOR SUNDAY. FOR MONDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL DURING THE DAY ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH HIGHS REACHED IN THE
EARLY DAYLIGHT HOURS.

HIGH PRESSURE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT FOR
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
&&

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD...UPPER RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING OVER
THE GULF COAST REGION...WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHEAST CONUS. THIS WILL KEEP SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER THE AREA
THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD...WITH WARM TEMPERATURES. THE RIDGE
SHOULD KEEP ANY FORWARD-MOVING SURFACE SYSTEM AT BAY FOR A FEW DAYS.
HOWEVER...SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL SEND SEVERAL DISTURBANCES
THROUGH THE REGION IN THE MEAN FLOW...AND AS A RESULT...THERE WILL
BE A CONTINUED AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THURSDAY
THROUGH SATURDAY.

830 AM CDT SAT APR 2 2011

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT THROUGH THE STATE TODAY BUT NO RAIN IS
EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH ARKANSAS FROM THE PLAINS ON
SUNDAY. THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE SYSTEM TO HIGH PRESSURE TO THE
SOUTHEAST WILL ALLOW FOR WINDY CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 25 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH ARE LIKELY OVER
MUCH OF ARKANSAS.

THE SYSTEM WILL ALSO BRING A CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DRAGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY.

THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM SUNDAY NIGHT OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND MOVE ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE LATE
NIGHT INTO THE MORNING MONDAY. ANY SEVERE STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL
BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH...AS
WELL AS LARGE HAIL. A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT...GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF WIND ENERGY PRESENT IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED STORMS WILL MOVE EAST OF ARKANSAS MONDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH DRY CONDITIONS RETURNING MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE PUSHES INTO THE REGION.

THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO THE TIMING OF THE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY SYSTEM AND THE EXTENT OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
PEOPLE SHOULD CONTINUE MONITORING THE LATEST FORECASTS AND OUTLOOKS
FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY.
