THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT THU JUL 14 2011/
DISCUSSION...
SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY
OF A WEAKENING UPPER LOW OVER ARKANSAS. THE LATEST RUNS OF THE
HRRR SUGGEST THAT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL DIE OFF
WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING SO WILL ONLY CARRY ISOLATED 10 TO
20 POPS IN THE SOUTH AND EAST FOR THIS EVENING.
AS HAS BEEN FORECASTED FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...A 500MB RIDGE
WILL BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL US BY THE WEEKEND AND IS EXPECTED TO
PERSIST WELL INTO NEXT WEEK. THE LATEST 12Z EURO SUGGESTS THAT THE
HOTTEST DAYS WILL BE IN THE TUE-THUR TIME FRAME...WHEN THE RIDGE
BEGINS TO FLATTEN A BIT AND A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT TO THE FLOW
ALLOWS FOR THE LOW LVL THERMAL RIDGE TO SPREAD EAST. AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF EXCESSIVE HEAT IS ALMOST A GIVEN. HEAT HEADLINES WILL BE
EXTENDED AND POSSIBLY MAY NEED EXPANSION AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEK.
ASIDE FROM SOME ISOLATED HIGH TERRAIN STORMS FRIDAY THROUGH
MONDAY...NO RAIN IS EXPECTED. A CLASSIC SUMMER HEAT WAVE IS UPON
US.
