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 29, 4:04 AM CDT, 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 4:04 AM CDT, 11 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
404 AM CDT Thu Apr 29 2021

.SHORT TERM...Today Through Friday Night
This upper ridge will be suppressed to the southeast by an
approaching upper moving through the Midwest. The southwest upper
low will become cutoff from the main flow and blocked by the upper
ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, keeping it over west Texas through
Friday.

A slow moving cold front will continue to bring showers and
thunderstorms across the area today. The main threat now is heavy
rain. North, west and southwest sections will have the highest
threat of flash flooding. Another large area of rain will move
across central and south Arkansas during the day. A Flash Flood
Watch continues for parts of the area. Another inch of rain is
expected in the southwest. There is a Marginal Risk for severe
thunderstorms across the southeast half of the area today along and
ahead of the front.

High pressure will build over the state tonight and Friday. Rain
chances will end in the south Friday morning. Surface high pressure
will be northeast of Arkansas by late Friday.

Highs today will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s and in the mid to
upper 70s Friday. Lows tonight will be in the lower 50s to lower
60s and then lower to mid 50s Friday night.

&&

.LONG TERM...Saturday Through Wednesday

Rain chances will return to the forecast gradually from Saturday
into Sunday as an H500 closed low approaches the state from the
southwest. As it moves over the area it will transition into an open
wave.

There will be little reprieve in the form of dry weather as yet
another shortwave trough is expected to traverse the SW flow aloft
and move toward the state by early next week. Another period of rain
and thunderstorms is expected.

Temperatures through the period are largely expected to remain above
normal values with persistent srly flow. There may be some portions
of the state that see below average temps at times if widespread
precip occurs.
