.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE STATE. BRIEF CLEARING AT KHRO/KBPK WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS WITH OTHER TAF SITES DEALING WITH THIS ACTIVITY FOR A
FEW MORE HOURS. WILL SEE A BREAK IN ACTIVITY FOR A FEW HOURS
BEFORE A STRONG LINE OF STORMS MOVES IN FROM OKLAHOMA FROM THE
WEST. TIMING MAY BE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT...BUT FIRST TAF SITE TO SEE
ACTIVITY WILL BE KHRO AOA 14/02Z WITH OTHER SITES FOLLOWING
SUIT...HAVE KPBF/KLLQ SEEING LINE OF STORMS LAST AOA 14/07-09Z.
STRONG WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN ALONG WITH HAIL MAY BE POSSIBLE
WITH TS ACTIVITY. FROPA WILL OCCUR A FEW HOURS AFTER LINE OF
STORMS MOVES THROUGH. NW WINDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
MONDAY WITH MVFR CEILINGS AREAWIDE...ONLY A FEW SHOWERS MAY BE
POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY AS WELL.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 236 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2014/
SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
MAIN CONCERNS FOR THE SHORT TERM CONTINUE TO BE THE CHANCE OF SEVERE
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...AS WELL AS THE UNSEASONABLY COLD
AIR THAT WILL ARRIVE BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH
THROUGH THE STATE MONDAY MORNING.
WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A NICE TROUGH AND JET STREAK
MOVING THROUGH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST HALF OF ARKANSAS THIS EVENING...SPARKING OFF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS AS IT DOES SO. REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY ALREADY
SHOWS A BATCH OF THESE STORMS MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS AS OF 2
PM CDT...AND THESE SHOULD CONTINUE TO TREK NORTHEAST ACROSS
RUSSELLVILLE AND UP TO MOUNTAIN HOME. CLOUD COVER HAS LIMITED
HEATING AND THEREFORE SFC-BASED INSTABILITY...BUT AS THE TROUGH/JET
STREAK APPROACH...DESTABILIZATION SHOULD OCCUR AND FURTHER
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THINK
THAT DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS
TODAY...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT HAIL. CAPE PROFILES ARE NOT VERY
IMPRESSIVE...ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE HAIL GROWTH REGION ALOFT. OF
COURSE THAT BEING SAID...SOUNDING PROFILES IN THE WEST/NORTHWEST
PARTS OF ARKANSAS DO SHOW SLIGHTLY BETTER CAPE PROFILES ALOFT SO A
MARGINAL THREAT FOR HAIL EXISTS THERE. ELSEWHERE WIND WILL BE THE
DOMINANT THREAT. WIND SHEAR IS DECENT...WITH 40-70KT OF SOUTHWEST
H85 FLOW THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...SO STRONG STORMS COULD EASILY
SURFACE DAMAGING WINDS. FINALLY...WHILE THE TORNADO THREAT OVER THE
NEXT 12-18 HOURS WILL NOT BE ZERO...IT WILL NOT BE VERY HIGH AT ALL.
THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT BREAK IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LATE THIS
EVENING BEFORE MORE CONVECTION MOVE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT WITH THE
COLD FRONT. THE SAME THINGS WILL APPLY IN TERMS OF SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES. ONE LAST NOTE ON CONVECTION RELATED ITEMS...AND THAT WOULD
BE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE
IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE AS A RICH PLUME OF GOMEX MOISTURE STREAMS
NORTH ACROSS THE STATE THIS EVENING. STORM MOTION WILL BE LARGELY
PARALLEL TO UPPER FLOW...BUT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING CONVECTION SHOULD STEADILY PROGRESS
TO THE EAST. THERE IS THE CHANCE OF TRAINING CELLS WITHIN ANY MCS
ACTIVITY...BUT HAVE FOREGONE THE ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT
THIS TIME AS THE BEST THREATS APPEAR TO BE JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA. WILL MONITOR CONVECTIVE TRENDS CLOSELY THOUGH.
THE OTHER MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD IS THE
LIKELIHOOD OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES MONDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN TUESDAY
NIGHT. A CLIMATOLOGY AFD SECTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED BELOW TO
HIGHLIGHT THE POSSIBILITY OF BREAKING TEMPERATURE RECORDS. LOOKING
AT THE CONUS...SUB-FREEZING AIR HAS PROGRESSED AS FAR SOUTH AS
CENTRAL COLORADO...NW KANSAS...AND WRN NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON. ALL
MODEL GUIDANCE...STATISTICAL AND NUMERICAL ALIKE...SAYS AREAS OF
ARKANSAS TO THE NW OF THE I-30/US-67 CORRIDOR WILL FALL BELOW THE
FREEZING MARK BY TUESDAY MORNING. GIVEN THIS AND THE CONSISTENCY OF
THESE FORECAST TEMPS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...HAVE HOISTED UP
A FREEZE WARNING FOR THOSE PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF THAT CORRIDOR...TEMPERATURES WILL APPROACH THE FREEZING
MARK AS WELL BUT CONFIDENCE IN READINGS AT/BELOW 32 IS NOT AS HIGH.
NORTHWEST POST-FRONTAL WINDS...WHICH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MONDAY AFTERNOON...WILL CONTINUE WELL
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THIS ALONG WITH LINGERING CLOUD COVER MAY BE
ENOUGH TO KEEP WIDESPREAD SUB-FREEZING TEMPS FROM OCCURRING. HAVE
PUT UP A FREEZE WATCH IN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA.
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL FEATURE LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES WITH THE SAME
AIR MASS IN PLACE. IT IS LIKELY THAT WIDESPREAD FREEZING
TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR ONCE AGAIN BUT WILL LEAVE THE ISSUANCE OF
ANY FREEZE WARNINGS OR WATCHES TO FUTURE SHIFTS GIVEN THAT IT IS A
DAY 4 FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES IN THE LONG TERM...AS AN UPPER LOW AND
ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS PUSH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS
THE REGION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE SYSTEM.
COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND.
AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL SWING DOWN OUT OF THE PLAINS BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND...
BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS.
WITH THE NORTH AMERICAN LONGWAVE PATTERN LARGELY CONDUCIVE TO SPLIT FLOW OR
RIDGING IN THE WEST AND TROUGHING IN THE EAST THROUGH THE PERIOD...TEMPERATURES
WILL LARGELY REMAIN CLOSE TO OR BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES AS PREVAILING
UPPER FLOW REMAINS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST.
CLIMATE...
NEAR-RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE LIKELY ON MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING. IN FACT...AT
SOME LOCATIONS...ALL-TIME RECORD LOWS FOR APRIL WILL BE CHALLENGED. BELOW IS
A LIST OF MANY LOCATIONS THAT WILL COME CLOSE TO DAILY RECORD LOWS AND/OR
ALL-TIME RECORD LOWS FOR APRIL.
DISCLAIMER...JUST BECAUSE THESE NUMBERS ARE LISTED DOESN/T NECESSARILY MEAN
THAT THESE RECORDS WILL BE BROKEN. THEY ARE JUST PROVIDED AS A FRAME OF
REFERENCE.

AT PINE BLUFF...IT WOULD BE THE LATEST FREEZE SINCE 1928...BUT NOT THE LATEST.
THAT DISTICTION GOES TO A LATE WIDESPREAD FREEZE ON APRIL 25TH 1910...

AND NORTHEAST.
