Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 12:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1237 PM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021 .UPDATE... Updated to include the 18Z aviation discussion. && .AVIATION... A heat advisory is in effect for the central and southern terminals. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are developing across parts of the state and will continue through the afternoon and evening hours. VFR conditions are expected for central and southern AR, with some MVFR ceilings across parts of northern AR through the afternoon and evening. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 637 AM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021) AVIATION... High clouds are moving across the area this morning. Expect cumulus to develop and become scattered. Isolated showers and thunderstorms could pop up during the day. Patchy fog in the north will bring MVFR conditions this morning, otherwise VFR conditions are anticipated. PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 344 AM CDT Sun Aug 22 2021) SHORT TERM...Today Through Monday Night An upper ridge will build over the southern U.S. through Monday. Upper low pressure will continue along the east coast today and Monday. Hurricane Henri will make landfall in the northeast later today. A stalled front continues across central Arkansas this morning. This front will eventually move north today. This will be the focus for any showers and thunderstorms. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected for mainly central and north sections. A weakening short wave will also move across the area and as a result rain chances will decrease in the afternoon. Included a slight chance of precipitation in the east for Monday with another weak trough. Temperatures will heat up this afternoon and highs will be in the lower to mid 90s. Mid and upper 90s are expected for Monday. With high humidity levels, heat indices will reach 105 to 110 degrees in the central and south sections and a Heat Advisory is in effect for these areas. A warm night is expected tonight with lows in the lower to mid 70s. LONG TERM...Tuesday Through Saturday The long-term period is consistent with strong ridging over the area at 500mb keeping the forecast area in a pattern of mostly hot and humid conditions. At the surface, high pressure over the southeast will create an environment that the only chances for precipitation will be diurnally driven and not amount to much in accumulation or coverage. Temperatures over the period are expected to remain in the mid 90s/upper 90s for high temperatures and heat index values could remain at elevated levels over 100 degrees. The possibility for heat advisories during the long term period is quite possible as the high pressure at the surface across the SE will funnel in plentiful amounts of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico driving up dewpoint temperatures, thus driving up heat index values. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
