232What 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 28, 6:44 AM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 6:44 AM CDT, 3 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 644 AM CDT Wed Apr 28 2021 .AVIATION... An upper level system is approaching from Oklahoma this morning and will move across Arkansas during the day today with showers and thunderstorms. Expect a lull in activity late tonight but showers will develop by Thursday morning ahead of an approaching cold front. Good chances of showers and thunderstorms are expected through much of the period. VFR to IFR conditions are expected. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 356 AM CDT Wed Apr 28 2021) SHORT TERM...Today Through Thursday Night A large upper ridge is over the east coast this morning with an upper low over the desert southwest. This upper ridge will be suppressed to the southeast as another upper trough moves southeast from the northern Plains Thursday. The southwest low will become cutoff from the main flow and blocked by the upper ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, keeping it in west Texas through Thursday night. Moisture has increased over Arkansas. Dew points are in the 60s to lower 70s this morning. Showers and thunderstorms are located in the northwest part of the state. A short wave will move through the area today and bring good chances of showers and thunderstorms to a good portion of the state. The heaviest rain amounts will be in the northwest today and west central tonight. 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected in these areas but these are the driest areas over the last 30 days. Isolated instances of flash flooding will be possible but is not expected to be widespread. A cold front will move into northwest Arkansas tonight continuing the rain chances through Thursday. Rain chances will taper off Thursday night. Highs today will be in the mid 70s to mid 80s and in the lower 70s to lower 80s Thursday. Lows tonight will be in the mid 60s to lower 70s and then lower 50s to lower 60s Thursday night. LONG TERM...Friday Through Tuesday The cold front will have moved south of the state at the start of the long term period...with rain chances decreasing form north to south. These drier conditions will be seen into Fri night and early Sat. However...a closed upper low to the SW over SWRN TX will begin lifting NE...weakening into an open wave as it passes over AR Sun into Mon. This will bring rain chances back to the forecast for the latter half of the weekend. While the best POPs will be seen Sun into Mon as the upper shortwave passes overhead...some lingering POPs will remain in the forecast as a new...but weaker...upper disturbance passes over the region in active SW flow aloft. While climatology suggests SVR Wx potential will exists with either system...current data suggests limited instability for the late weekend system. Even so...uncertainty remains high this far out in time...especially by early next week with the late forecast precip. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...51
