.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED  247 AM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015/

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY

DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING SO FAR EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH JUST
MUGGY CONDITIONS ONGOING ACROSS THE CWA. TEMPS REMAIN IN THE MID 70S
TO LOW 80S...AND DEWPTS REMAIN HIGH IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. SOME
CONVECTION HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED ACROSS SWRN PORTIONS OF MO OVER
THE PAST HOUR IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK UPPER WAVE DROPPING SE FROM SERN
KS INTO SWRN MO. KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING FOR NRN SECTIONS OF THE CWA
THROUGH SUNRISE...WITH SLIGHT CHANCES AS FAR SOUTH AS CENTRAL AR.
COULD SEE AN ISOLATED SVR STORM FROM THIS ACTIVITY...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREATS POSSIBLE. THROUGH
MIDDAY...DROP POPS A BIT OVER TIME...WITH SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE
POPS ACROSS CENTRAL TO NERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA AS THE UPPER WAVE
DROPS SE INTO NRN AND NERN AR.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN COOLEST ACROSS NERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA AS A
RESULT OF THE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AND CLOUD COVER...WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90. FURTHER SOUTH AND
WEST...EXPECTING TEMPS WELL INTO THE 90S...WITH SOME 100S ALSO
POSSIBLE. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL ALSO BE HIGH...WITH A LARGE PORTION
OF THE SRN HALF TO TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA SEEING PEAK HEAT INDEX
VALUES OVER 105. SOME SPOTS COULD SEE HEAT INDEX VALUES ABOVE 110
FOR A BRIEF PERIOD. CONTINUE WITH THE HEAT ADV AND EXCESSIVE HEAT
PRODUCTS FOR CURRENT LOCATION AND TIMING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WILL REMAIN INTO THIS FRI EVENING...BUT
THINKING ONLY AN ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA WILL BE SEEN AS THE UPPER RIDGE
EXPANDS OVER THE REGION. KEEP SILENT POPS ON SAT AND SUN...AND THE
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT. HIGHS WILL LIKELY
BE IN THE 90S FOR MOST AREAS ON SAT...EXCEPT MAYBE THE HIGHER
TERRAIN AND SOME NERN COUNTIES. SOME 100S WILL ALSO BE
SEEN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH AND WEST. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL
RISE ABOVE 105 DEGREES FOR ALL BUT THE FAR NERN COUNTIES...BUT THOSE
AREAS WILL LIKELY STILL SEE PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES OVER 100.

FOR SUN INTO MON...EXPECT 90S FOR HIGHS...AND JUST OVER 100 ACROSS
THE SWRN THIRD TO HALF OF THE CWA. THE HEAT ADV/WARNING PRODUCTS
WILL LIKELY NEED EXTENDED THROUGH MON. LOWS EACH DAY WILL BE IN THE
70S TO LOW 80S. A FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE LATE ON
MON...WHICH WILL BRING SOME RELIEF TO THE HEAT LATER NEXT WEEK AS
DRIER AND COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION.

&&

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL START WITH MODELS MOVING THE UPPER HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE AGAIN BACK TO THE WEST...AND UPPER NW FLOW SETS UP
INTO THE REGION. ON TUESDAY...MODELS HAVE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING
SOUTH INTO AND THROUGH THE STATE...WITH SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION
MAINLY OVER SOUTHWEST AR. THEN TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE REST OF THE
EXTENDED...THE UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. AND THE
UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL BRING OVERALL DRY
WEATHER TO AR WHILE MODERATING TEMPS BACK TO NEAR NORMAL TO A BIT
BELOW NORMAL VALUES. TEMPERATURES ON TUESDAY WILL START IN THE MID
TO LOWER 90S...THEN LOWER WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TO THE UPPER
80S TO LOWER 90S. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 70S WITH SOME UPPER 60S.
