The radar

The Springfield radar (KSGF), 143 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 23:07 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 11.1 hours before the alert went out and 141 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 2:50 PM CDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
250 PM CDT FRI MAR 30 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

MAIN FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM IS TWO FOLD...THE FIRST BEING THE
NEAR-RECORD WARMTH EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEKEND...AND THE SECOND THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER MONDAY NIGHT.

BEFORE WE GET TO THE HEAT THOUGH...WILL KEEP MINIMAL PRECIP CHANCES
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT VARIOUS TIMES FROM TONIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING. NOT EXPECTING ANY SHOWER/TSTM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER THERE IS A FRONT TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE
THAT WILL BE SHOVED INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF ARKANSAS TONIGHT.
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT COULD BE ENOUGH TO SPARK OFF SOME
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT. SOME MODELS
DEPICT THIS AND OTHERS DO NOT...HENCE THE REASON FOR STICKING WITH
MINIMAL PRECIP CHANCES. LATE TONIGHT AND INTO EARLY SAT
MORNING...OTHER PIECES OF GUIDANCE INDICATE SMALL CHANCES FOR AN MCS
TO AFFECT THE SOUTHWEST PART OF THE STATE. FINALLY DURING THE
AFTERNOON TOMORROW...STRONGER HEATING AND THE POTENTIAL FOR REMNANT
BOUNDARIES SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR 15-20 POPS FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
AFTERNOON SHOWERS.

AS FOR THE HEAT...TOMORROW/S TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE LOW TO
MID 80S STATEWIDE...EXCEPT FOR MAYBE THE UPPER 70S IN SOME LOCALES
IN THE OZARKS. THE UPPER RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WARM UP WILL
STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL BE
IN AT LEAST THE MID 80S STATEWIDE...WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS
APPROACHING 90. HAVE ONCE AGAIN KEPT TEMPS SHY OF 90...BUT WOULD NOT
BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME AREAS IN THE THE WESTERN AND NORTHWESTERN
PARTS OF THE STATE...ESPECIALLY IN THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY WEST OF
RUSSELLVILLE...TO HIT 90. IF LITTLE ROCK HITS 90 DEGREES...IT WILL
NOT SET A RECORD FOR THE EARLIEST 90 DEGREE DAY...BUT IT WILL TIE
FOR 3RD PLACE. EVEN STILL...IT WILL CERTAINLY BE AN IMPRESSIVE
WARM STRETCH. MORE THAN LIKELY...THE YAY/NAY DECISION ON GOING
FOR 90 DEGREES ON SUNDAY WILL NOT BE MADE UNTIL THE AFTERNOON
PACKAGE TOMORROW.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER ON
MONDAY/TUESDAY. THE STRONG RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR SUNDAY/S WARM
WEATHER WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS A STRONG
UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE ROCKIES. THIS TROUGH EVENTUALLY CUTS
OFF INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER THE TX PANHANDLE BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.
FROM THERE IT WILL BE A VERY SLOW JOG TO THE EAST...LIKELY NOT
MOVING THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL TUE/WED IN THE LONG TERM
PERIOD. THERE REMAINS A DECENT AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCES AMONGST
NUMERICAL MODELS. IN GENERAL THOUGH...A SURFACE LOW ASSOC WITH THE
CLOSED LOW SHOULD APPROACH THE STATE FROM THE WEST MON AFTERNOON.
MUCH OF MONDAY SHOULD BE DRY...BUT PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE MON
AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY MON NIGHT. THIS PATTERN SHOULD SUPPORT SOME
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OUT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW...WHICH WILL
MOVE INTO THE WRN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA MON EVENING. THERE
APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR PRESENT TO SUPPORT
SOME STRONGER STORMS...INCLUDING SOME POTENTIALLY SEVERE STORMS.
HOWEVER...AGAIN...THERE ARE ENOUGH UNCERTAINTIES TO NOT GET TOO
EXCITED ABOUT THIS SYSTEM YET. FOR INSTANCE...MODELS ARE NOTORIOUS
FOR MOVING THESE UPPER LOWS EAST TOO QUICKLY...SO THE TIMING COULD
END UP SUCH THAT THE INITIAL STORMS/PRECIP COMES IN EARLY TUE
MORNING...WHICH WOULD LESSEN THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. ALL IN ALL...IT
CERTAINLY IS A SYSTEM WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO FOR THE TIME
BEING...BUT NOT ONE WORTH GETTING OVERLY ANXIOUS ABOUT YET.

&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE LONG TERM PERIOD BEGINS WITH A STRONG UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
OVER OKLAHOMA. THIS UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OVER NORTH ARKANSAS TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THIS UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A RIDGE BUILDS IN THE PLAINS AND A TROUGH ENTERS
THE WEST COAST. THIS UPPER RIDGE WILL BE OVER ARKANSAS THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY.

GFS IS THE MOST CONSISTENT OF MODELS AND WILL STAY CLOSE TO THAT. A
COLD FRONT WILL BE IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA TUESDAY MORNING. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING TUESDAY MORNING BUT DECREASING FROM
WEST TO EAST DURING THE DAY. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WHEN THE UPPER LOW MOVES THROUGH ARKANSAS
WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE AND DRY AIR RETURN FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY...THEN BACK TO NORMAL
VALUES FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD...BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
