Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 12:23 PM CDT, 1 hour 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1223 PM CDT Thu Apr 29 2021 .UPDATE... An overall slow decreasing trend is expected this afternoon with regards to intensity and coverage of convection. Near term forecasts have been adjusted to account for the expected convective trends. 55 && .AVIATION... Surface flow will become northwesterly at 4-7kt between 30/00z and 30/06z. MVFR ceilings are expected to prevail across northern sites through 30/00z. 55 && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 642 AM CDT Thu Apr 29 2021) AVIATION... The slow moving cold front has entered northwest Arkansas and will continue to move through the state today. Rain chances will be highest in central and south sections. Heavy rain can be expected at times. Low clouds and decreased visibility will lead to MVFR or IFR conditions at times. Rain will end in most locations this evening but not til 06Z in the southeast. PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 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. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories... Flash Flood Watch until 4 PM CDT this afternoon FOR Clark-Dallas- Garland-Hot Spring-Izard-Johnson-Logan-Montgomery-Ouachita-Pike- Polk-Pope-Scott-Searcy-Stone-Yell. &&
