What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 14, 6:20 AM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 14, 6:20 AM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
620 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021

.UPDATE...

Updated to include the 12z aviation discussion.

.AVIATION...

Current SHRA/TSRA will continue to impact all terminals through
late morning. MVFR/IFR conditions are expected most of Wednesday
because of lowering CIGS and possible VIS restrictions associated
with rain showers. VFR conditions are expected to return Wednesday
evening as unsettled weather pushes out of the state. Winds are
out of the NE shifting to the N/NW by Wednesday night.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 347 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021)
SHORT TERM...Today Through Thursday Night
Current surface data shows a stalled frontal boundary from
southwest Arkansas to the Delta Region. On queue, a midlevel wave
moving through and interacting with the front touched off
scattered to numerous showers/storms. These will continue to move
into the area through the morning as low pressure develops along
the front and propagates eastward. With decent mid-level lapse
rates present, a few elevated marginally strong storms could occur
north of the front.

Precip will diminish during the afternoon as the surface and mid-
level wave move eastward. However, with the longwave pattern
remaining zonal/quasi-zonal, the front itself should move very
little. Additional precip will develop and move into the area
again late tonight, as another wave moves through and interacts
with the boundary.

Precip will move east during the day Thursday. The longwave
pattern will amplify a bit, as a closed upper low moves into the
central Rockies. This will push the front a bit southward into the
long term.

LONG TERM...Friday Through Tuesday
A mid/upper level trough will cross the central Plains Friday and
Saturday, bringing rainfall to much of the area early in the
period. With the primary frontal boundary near the Gulf Coast and
only marginal instability expected across the southwestern half of
the state, thunder chances appear low and severe chances are
virtually nil.

Another compact mid/upper level cyclone will dive southeastward
across the central Plains on Sunday as the first system departs. Do
expect rain to end across the area by Saturday morning before dawn.
Dry high pressure building in from the northwest will keep the
forecast dry for the first half of the work week before another
front approaches from the north Tuesday into Wednesday. Moisture
looks meager ahead of this front so overall rain chances are low.

Temperatures will remain below average through the period, although
a notable moderating trend will be seen each day. Patchy frost
cannot be ruled out across the Ozarks and Ouachitas during the
morning hours, especially late weekend into next week.
