Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
655 AM CDT Tue May 4 2021

.AVIATION...04/12Z TAF CYCLE

Wide range of flight conds acrs the FA this mrng aft overnight
convection. Low clouds/patchy fog are producing mainly MVFR/IFR
conds at most sites. Rain chcs wl return later this mrng as the
last upr lvl impulse passes acrs the FA. Majority of the
convectionwl be acrs the SE half of the area later this mrng and
this aftn. Lingering front ovr the AR wl finally shift to the SE
by late today. Drier air wl advect into the region tngt with VFR
conds returning. /44/
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 445 AM CDT Tue May 4 2021)
SHORT TERM...Today Through Wednesday Night

Last of this round of strong/svr storms wl cont to shift to the NE
out of our FA before daybreak. Sfc low pressure was noted ovr far SE
OK this mrng, with an assocd sfc bndry extending to the northeast
into SE MO. Temps mainly in the 60s were noted behind the bndry in
the rain-cooler airmass, with 70s still observed ovr SE AR.

Looks like we wl see an lull in overall rain coverage this mrng as
we wl be in between upr lvl impulses. Any residual precip is
expected to be concentrated ovr NW and SE AR this mrng. By this
aftn, the last upr shrtwv wl track acrs the region. This feature wl
interact with sfc bndry to bring another round of convection to
mainly the SE half AR, where the warmer and more unstable conds wl
exist. Cannot rule out some strong/svr storms in that area this
aftn, with the greater threat to the E of our FA.

Other than some lingering small PoPs ovr Ern AR early this evening,
drier and cooler weather wl finally return for the rest of the PD.
Many locations today wl see their highs occur early in the day. Max
temps on Wed wl be a bit below normal, ranging fm the upper 60s to
the mid 70s. Lows wl generally range fm the 40s to the mid 50s.

LONG TERM...Thursday Through Monday

To begin the period, the nations mid-section will lie beneath
northwesterly flow sandwiched between stout ridging over the
Intermountain West and weak troughing over the TN Valley. The ridge
will slowly break down through Friday and the pattern will become
quasi-zonal. Heading into the weekend, long range guidance suggest
slight unsettled pattern setting up across the Southern Plains.

At the surface, high pressure will move towards the Southern MS-
Valley Thursday and Friday. By Saturday, the surface flow will
transition from northerly to southerly and moisture will quickly
rebound locally. Over the weekend, long range guidance indicates a
surface boundary may set up over northern AR/ southern MO and
provide a focus for additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms.
At this point, limited upper level support via quasi-zonal flow will
potentially reduce PoP chances late in the period, thus PoPs are on
the lower side for now until confidence increases in overall
evolution/location of the surface boundaries.

Temperatures during the period will largely be on par for what is
expected this time of year. Initially temperatures will be cool in
the wake of a frontal passage. Lows will begin in the 40s and 50s
with highs in the 70s but will modify through the week becoming 60s
for lows and upper 70s to upper 80s for highs by the weekend into
Monday.
