Area forecast discussion, May 19, 6:30 PM CDT, 15 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 630 PM CDT Fri May 19 2017 .AVIATION... Active weather expected through the period, with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms. First wave will be scattered, primarily in the central and north/northeast this evening, then more late tonight, and more during the day Saturday. Prevailing conditions will become MVFR, locally restricted with any heavier precipitation. Winds will primarily be out of the south, except variable and gusty near thunderstorms. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 236 PM CDT Fri May 19 2017) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Sunday Coverage of SHRA has been a bit more scattered this afternoon compared to the isolated coverage seen on Thu afternoon. Additional...more organized SHRA and some TSRA were ongoing across NE OK. This activity will continue to lift NE into far NW AR and SW MO this afternoon...with a few of the NWRN counties seeing some potential of this activity remaining organized as it moves over that portion of the state. Elsewhere...expected the isolated to scattered SHRA and a few TSRA through the rest of the afternoon and early evening hrs. This evening and overnight...additional convection will become more likely as activity develops to the west and SW in OK...and moves ENE into AR. This will be similar to what happened this morning...just a bit further south. Given the similar setup...do expect some potential for SVR Wx...with damaging winds the primary hazard...especially as the convection develops into a potential bowing complex. Some hail may also be seen...but lesser potential than the wind. There could also be a some brief tornado potential along the leading edge of this bowing line of convection. By sunrise Sat...do expect this overnight convection to be weakening as it pushes east of the CWA. Will see some lingering SHRA/TSRA in the morning across central/SRN sections of the CWA...but then should see a break in the organized convection by around midday. Could still see some scattered SHRA/TSRA during the midday time frame. By the afternoon and early evening hrs...a cold front will move into the state from the NW...with additional SHRA/TSRA expected to develop along/ahead of the front. This front will then push SE through the rest of the CWA by sunrise Sun...with cooler and more stable conditions expected for the rest of Sun. LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Friday We will enter a brief period of drier weather heading into the start of the new work week. The aforementioned storm system wl be working EWD away fm the AR Sun night, with SFC high pressure working into the region. One thing to watch for Mon into Mon night is the potential for any MCS to the NW of the FA, possibly affecting parts of AR. Have kept the fcst dry for now, but wl continue to watch model trends. Another upr trof/CDFNT wl push thru the area Tue and Tue night, with scattered convection expected. Some residual moisture working arnd the upr trof could produce some lingering rain chances over parts of NERN AR on Wed. Drier conds wl return to close out the work week. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...57
