Area forecast discussion, Jul 26, 3:09 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE FOR AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
635 PM CDT THU JUL 2012

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL EFFECT ALL TAFS OVER THE 12
HOURS...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING TO AROUND MIDNIGHT. THEN CONVECTION
WILL LOWER IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. MAINLY VFR CEILINGS WITH
PATCHY MVFR CEILINGS WITH STORMS. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DRIFT
INTO AR AND DEVELOP THE CONVECTION. WINDS SW 5 TO 15 KNOTS SOUTH OF
THE FRONT WHILE W TO NW AT 5 TO 15 KNOTS NORTH OF THE FRONT. FRIDAY
THE SCATTERED CONVECTION SHOULD BE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TO SOUTH AR.
(59)

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT THU JUL 26 2012/

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

COLD FRONT LOCATED ROUGHLY ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR IN
SOUTHERN MISSOURI...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH. ISOLATED
CONVECTION HAS DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH MORE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST.

WITH SOME DRIER AIR NEAR THE FRONT...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG TO SEVERE WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS. WITH ANY
FIRES...THE DRASTIC WIND CHANGES WILL BE OF GREAT CONCERN. THERE IS
A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH THE POTENTIAL MOSTLY CONFINED
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...BEFORE PICKING BACK UP AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS SATURDAY.

THE OTHER CONCERN FOR SATURDAY WILL BE TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY
BEHIND THE FRONT WITH DRIER AIR MIXING DOWN. HAVE GONE 5 OR MORE
DEGREES ABOVE GUIDANCE...WITH READINGS APPROACHING 100 DEGREES. WITH
THE LOWER DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE NORTH...HEAT HEADLINES ARE NOT
EXPECTED. ALSO...CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL WILL TEMPER READINGS
ACROSS THE SOUTH...AND HELP KEEP HEAT INDEX READINGS IN CHECK THERE.

UPPER RIDGE QUICKLY BUILDS BACK IN BEHIND THE FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY...WITH DRY AND HOT CONDITIONS CONTINUING. MODELS ARE
HINTING AT A WEAK FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY...BUT HAVE LEFT A DRY FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
&&

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE
DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE ACROSS ARKANSAS IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
A COLD FRONT WILL TRY TO NUDGE INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTH/EAST...BUT WILL PROBABLY FAIL AS IT ENCOUNTERS THE RIDGE.
THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT...AND TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES MAY LEAD TO AT LEAST ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
IN THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE. OTHERWISE...IT WILL BE MOSTLY DRY
AND HOT...WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
