Severe Thunderstorm Warning 217, NWS Little Rock, AR

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
229 PM CDT THU JUL 14 2016

.SHORT TERM...Today Through Saturday
Immediate forecast concern is the MCS approaching the forecast
area from eastern Oklahoma. This convective system is expected to
continue to slide to the southeast...along a well defined
instability gradient...exiting the forecast area by 15/04z.
Recent output of CAM type models have converged towards this
solution. Near term forecasts account for the expected movement
of this system.

An additional complex is expected to form overnight to the west
of the initial system...and again move to the
southeast...affecting at least western sections after 15/06z.

Mid level lapse rates...and forcing along smaller scale boundaries will
provide support for convection during the rest of this period.
Conditions supporting organized convective complexes...as of those
supporting today's activity...are not expected. Any severe
thunderstorm activity will be limited to diurnally
enhanced...pulse type single cells.

&&

.LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Thursday
If I could sum up the extended forecast in two words it would be
"ridge" and "hot". An upper level ridge will dominate through the
entire period and above normal temperatures will be the rule.
Afternoon max values could top out over 100 in some areas.

There will be some low precipitation chances toward the latter half
of the period as the center of the ridge settles in over the
mid plains.
