THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS GENERALLY REMAINED JUST WEST OF AR...THOUGH LOCATIONS ACROSS FAR WRN AR ALREADY SAW OVER 2 INCHES OVERNIGHT. THIS AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WAS BEGINNING TO SLOWLY SHIFT EAST THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SHRA/TSRA LIFTING NORTH INTO WRN AR ONCE AGAIN. EARLIER THIS MORNING...AN OUTFLOW FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION MOVED EAST INTO CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE STATE...GENERATING A BROKEN LINE OF SHRA...WITH THE OCCASIONAL THUNDER. OVERTIME HOWEVER...THE EWD MOMENTUM AS DECREASED...WITH JUST SOME ISOLATED TO SCT ACTIVITY REMAINING ACROSS THE ERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. WEST OF THIS LINE OF ACTIVITY...WINDS HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY TO GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KTS.

THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HRS...EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHRA AND SOME TSRA TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH ACROSS THE WRN THIRD OF THE STATE. FURTHER EAST...EXPECTED MORE SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA TO BE POSSIBLE...SOME OF WHICH COULD BECOME STRONG TO SVR WITH THE INCREASED INSTABILITY AND SFC CONVERGENCE EXPECTED.

OVERNIGHT...THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SLOWLY EAST AS THE UPPER CLOSED LOW TO THE WEST ALSO MOVES SLOWLY EAST/NE. BY SUNRISE WED MORNING...THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL HAVE SHIFTED FAR ENOUGH EAST TO BISECT THE STATE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE STATE BY WED MORNING...WITH SOME ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. AS THE DAY GOES ON...THE PRECIP AXIS WILL SHIFT EAST...BUT BECOME LESS ORGANIZED OVER TIME WITH THE MAIN ENERGY REMAINING TO THE WEST. EVEN SO...AN ADDITIONAL HALF TO 1 INCH OF RAIN COULD BE SEEN ALONG THIS MAIN AXIS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON WED.

ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WED EVENING INTO THU MORNING...BRINGING AN ADDITIONAL HALF TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAINFALL TO THE CWA. THIS WOULD BRING ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM MIDDAY TODAY THROUGH THE END OF THE EVENT OF 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS. WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE CURRENT LOCATIONS AND CURRENT TIME SPAN. BY THU NIGHT INTO FRI...THE MAIN UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY MOVE NE ACROSS THE REGION. AS IT DOES SO...ADDITIONAL PRECIP WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND THE CENTER OF THIS UPPER LOW AS IT PASSES FROM WRN AR INTO NERN AR. CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS THU NIGHT INTO FRI FOR THIS SCENARIO. WILL DECREASE POPS FROM SW TO NE FRI NIGHT INTO THE LONG TERM PERIOD AS THIS SLOW MOVING STORM SYSTEM FINALLY EXITS THE REGION TO THE NE. && .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD.
