Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 6:20 AM CDT, 7 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 620 AM CDT Mon Jun 29 2020 .UPDATE... Updated to include the 12Z aviation discussion. && .AVIATION... Scattered SHRA continues over most areas this morning with the highest probability of RA/TS across western terminals by afternoon. Not very confident in coverage through today, however, so only included VCTS mention for now. Otherwise, VFR will prevail after around 29/15-16Z except in heavier RA or TS. S/SW winds will remain elevated through the early evening and cigs should trend downward late in the period from W to E. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 329 AM CDT Mon Jun 29 2020) SHORT TERM...Today Through Tuesday Night A broad area of showers with occasional lightning continues pushing northeast across the area early this morning as small- scale perturbations translate through southwesterly flow aloft. Another area of rain is developing across the ArkLaTex and will push in from the southwest over the next several hours. Additional perturbations will support showers/storms through today and abundant cloud cover and precipitation will help limit max temps with readings in the 80s to low-90s most likely by afternoon. Despite a slightly cooler temperature forecast this afternoon, high humidity will keep us quite soupy and this will be most apparent during the overnight hours where lows in the 70s will be common. Rain coverage will be less Tuesday and temps will climb a few degrees higher with heat indices in the 90s to around 100 degrees by afternoon. A couple of strong to marginally severe storms are possible, but widespread severe weather is unlikely. Torrential downpours may lead to localized flooding. LONG TERM...Wednesday Through Monday Probably one of the hottest periods of time so far this year is expected from Wednesday through Friday this week. Deep ridging will expand from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes region during this timeframe. Sfc temps may climb into the upper 90s F, particularly on Thursday. Accompanying these temps will be Td values in the 70s F thanks to persistent SWrly flow at the sfc. This will lead to a potentially dangerous combination of heat and humidity which could cause heat indices to approach 110 across some parts of the forecast area. At the least, heat advisories may be needed at times through the end of the week. While ridging will remain the dominant feature for much of the country's weather in the coming days, it will become focused a bit further west by the weekend. This will provide either H500 troughing or the potential for a cutoff low to progress southward and provide rain chances to eastern portions of the state. Additionally, a remnant sfc boundary may accompany the upper level feature which could provide more of a N-NErly component to the sfc flow. This could help temps return to more reasonable levels, more like upper 80s/lower 90s F. But, it does look like the ridge will remain dominant over the middle of the country and will continue to impact portions of the state beyond the 7-day forecast. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...COOPER
