Widespread MVFR conditions will prevail through the majority of the period with occasional VFR conditions in heavier precipitation. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 701 PM CDT Sun Jun 6 2021) AVIATION...07/00Z TAF CYCLE Wl cont to see additional rounds of convection affect the FA thru the PD, assocd with a slow moving upper lvl low just to the NW of AR. Ongoing activity is expected to diminish later this evening, with more widespread activity again forming on Mon. Flight conds wl mainly rmn MVFR/VFR ovr the area, with lower conds in heavier rain and storms. /44/ PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 302 PM CDT Sun Jun 6 2021) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Tuesday An upper low pressure area is centered over northeast Oklahoma. With an upper high over the southeast U.S., the upper low will slowly move northeast through Tuesday. Unsettled weather will continue through the short term. Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms to become likely at times through Tuesday. Some thunderstorms will produce brief heavy rain at times. Through Tuesday afternoon expect 1 to 1.5 inches to fall in many locations. The best chances for the heavier rainfall will be central and south. Lows tonight will be in the mid to upper 60s, and mid 60s to lower 70s Monday night. Highs Monday will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s, and in the lower to mid 80s Tuesday. LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday Beginning the period, southwesterly flow, aided by a low pressure system to the north of the CWA paired with a dominant high pressure continues moisture flow into much of the CWA, at least early in the period. The low tracks into the Ohio Valley, still creating unsettled weather for the CWA through at least late next week. Tuesday night into Wednesday has highest PoPs over the area, especially NE AR, as the upper level low pulls away from the state. By late week, the low appears to move far enough away from the area that impacts appear to be minimal. Models are currently in agreement that by Friday morning rain exits the most/all of the CWA with a break in shower activity. This break looks brief, however, given a building ridge setting up a summer like pattern with PoPs elevated during the afternoon hours. During this stretch of active and wet weather, rain chances will be possible everyday during most of the period. Rain showers and/or thunderstorms are likely going to be scattered in nature meaning all the rain is not likely to come all at once and will fall over an extended period of time. With that said, any areas that see training/stalled storms could get higher rainfall totals than any surrounding areas. Therefore, isolated flash flooding cannot be ruled out. The first half of the period looks to see temperatures remain average to slightly above average as highs look to be in the 80s with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Late in the period, under the building high pressure, temperature look to surge above average with highs in the mid to upper 80s for most areas with some areas possibly reaching into the low 90s. Lows look to remain in the upper 60s and low 70s. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...56

The best chances initially will be across northeast Arkansas, with additional activity expected to affect western sections later in the night. While a strong storm or two cannot be ruled out, the main concern will continue to be heavy rainfall. This could lead to localized flash flooding through the overnight hours. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday Through Saturday Through the early portion of the forecast period, daily chances for showers and some thunderstorms will prevail under a nearly stationary upper level storm system. Persistent rainfall could lead to increasing soil saturation/runoff, and contribute to isolated flash flooding, particularly Monday and Tuesday. At this time, the threat of organized severe weather remains low through the forecast period. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation will not be needed. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web. Go to http://weather.gov/lzk. 44
