What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 1, 11:26 AM CST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 1, 11:26 AM CST, 2 hours 14 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
1126 AM CST WED FEB 1 2012

.AVIATION...
VSBYS HAVE IMPROVED...WITH IFR CIGS STILL OCCURING ACROSS THE
NORTH AND WEST. THESE WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE...BEFORE SCATTERED
SHRA/VCTS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MAINLY SOUTHERN SITES THIS
AFTERNOON. CONTINUED MVFR VSBY OVERNIGHT...AND WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR FOR LOWERED CIGS AS WELL.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 300 AM CST WED FEB 1 2012/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY
THIS MORNING...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS STALLED NEAR NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS. SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT CONTINUE TO BRING
MOISTURE AND 50+ DEGREE DEWPOINTS INTO THE REGION...ALONG WITH LOW
CLOUDS. HOW WARM THE TEMPERATURE GETS TODAY WILL BE LARGELY
DEPENDENT ON ANY PROLONGED BREAK IN THE CLOUDS.

UPPER WAVE WILL MOVE UP ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND
THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO GIVE THE FRONT A PUSH TO THE SOUTH AND OUT
OF THE REGION. THERE WILL ALSO BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE SYSTEM. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN TONIGHT
BEHIND THE FRONT...ALBEIT BRIEFLY.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. UPLIFT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT
WILL BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BY
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...WITH STORMS BECOMING LIKELY DURING THE DAY
AS A COLD FRONT AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE APPROACH FROM THE
WEST.

GIVEN THE EXPECTED PATTERN...I WOULDN/T BE SURPRISED TO SEE
ISOLATED STRONG STORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. HOWEVER...
THERE WILL NOT BE MUCH OF A CHANCE FOR STORMS TO BECOME SURFACE-
BASED WITH THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL...SO THE THREAT
IS LIKELY TO BE LIMITED. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CLOSELY...
HOWEVER.

COOLER...DRIER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT ON SATURDAY...
WITH ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION MOVING EAST OF THE AREA.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
THE OVERALL UPR PATTERN REMAINS UNCERTAIN IN THE LONG TERM AS A
HIGHLY ANOMALOUS SPLIT FLOW REGIME TRANSITIONS TO A MORE AMPLIFIED
PATTERN.  THE PD WILL BEGIN WITH A REX BLOCK TYPE CONFIGURATION OVER
NOAM WITH A HUGE UPR RIDGE IN CANADA ABOVE A CUT OFF UPR LOW IN THE
CEN U.S. PLAINS. WHILE DETAILS ARE SKETCHY...THE GENERAL IDEA IS
THAT THE CUT OFF UPR LOW WILL SLOWLY PHASE INTO THE NRN STREAM AS
A PIECE OF ENERGY MOVES SOUTH FROM THE HUDSON BAY AND COLLECTS IT.
THIS SHOULD PROMOTE AT A LEAST A TEMPORARILY MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN
THAN WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN OF LATE AS SHRTWV RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE
ROCKIES AND A HUDSON BAY VORTEX BRIEFLY SETS UP. HOWEVER...IT DOES
NOT APPEAR THE AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL LAST LONG.

WHAT THIS ALL MEANS FOR THE NATURAL STATE IS LIKELY A PD OF NW FLOW
AND A BIT COOLER TEMPS FOR THE LONG TERM AS MODELS DROP A DRY AND
COOLER CANADIAN AIRMASS INTO THE STATE. WHILE UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN
THE DETAILS AND CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE AT BEST...WILL CONTINUE THE
GOING DRY AND COOLER FCST UTILIZING A BLEND BTW THE WARMER GFS AND
COLDER ECMWF.
