AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
251 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OUTSIDE OF THE CWA IN NORTHEAST
TEXAS AND SW ARKANSAS DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS ALONG AN
AXIS OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS. THROUGH THE DAY TODAY...A NEARLY
STATIONARY WARM FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS ARKANSAS FROM FORT SMITH
TO MOUNTAIN HOME. THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO WOBBLE THROUGH THE DAY
BEFORE LIFTING MORE TO THE NORTH BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.

SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH TO THE NORTHEAST...AT THIS
POINT...DID SLOW DOWN THE TIMING OF THE MAIN LINE OF PRECIP. LATEST
RUNS OF HRRR HAS A FEW STRONGER STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS OKLAHOMA
AND FOLLOWING CLOSE TO WHERE THE STATIONARY FRONT IS CURRENTLY
LOCATED. THE LARGEST THREAT WITH THESE INITIAL STORMS WILL BE LARGE
HAIL...WITH DAMAGING WINDS...AND PERHAPS EVEN A TORNADO POSSIBLE.
THE TORNADO THREAT IS FAIRLY LOW WITH THESE STORMS...WITH FAIRLY
HIGH LCL VALUES. SOME OF THE HIRES MODELS DO SUGGEST THESE MAY FALL
A BIT...BUT NOT UNTIL LATER IN THE EVENING.

CONTINUE TO EXPECT A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...GENERALLY
ALONG AND BEHIND THE MAIN FRONT AND MOVE THROUGH THE STATE AFTER
00Z...WITH THUNDERSTORMS SWEEPING THROUGH THE STATE. LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE...BUT TORNADOES WILL BE
LIMITED AS THE COLD FRONT QUICKLY OUTRACES THE STORMS. CONTINUES TO
LOOK THAT THE HEAVIEST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIMITED NW OF
THE CWA.

LATER IN THE SHORT TERM...LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA...AND WITH UPPER ENERGY RIDING AROUND THE TROUGH...SOME SMALL
CHANCES WILL EXIST FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION. BUT WITH TEMPERATURES
CONTINUING TO COME BACK A BIT WARMER...THE CHANCES CONTINUE TO
LESSEN. NO ACCUMULATIONS OR WINTER WX HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED.

&&

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

NEAR...TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED DURING
THIS PERIOD. PRECIPITATION FORECASTS WILL REFLECT LOWER FORECAST
CONFIDENCE WITH REGARD TO FEATURES IN EXPECTED SPLIT FLOW ACROSS
THE U.S.
