Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
134 PM CDT Sun May 9 2021

.SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Tuesday Night

...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

Recent mesoanalysis depicted a cold frnt advancing E-S/Ewrd quickly
across N/Wrn AR. Radar mosaic imgry indicated a remnant MCS which
earlier was moving S/wrd over Nrn AR. This complex has since
dissipated w/ a residual outflow bndry present over Cntrl AR near
the I-40 corridor. GOES vis imgry was still indicative of some low-
lvl stratus across much of Srn AR, however over Cntrl AR, mixing has
given way to some clearing which has allowed for diurnal heating to
intensify. Some low-lvl Cu can be disseminated w/ some agitated Cu
evident w/ the beginnings of several new updrafts over Wrn and
Cntrl AR.

Through the remainder of the day and into the evening, no major
changes to the fcst or thought process regarding svr wx potential.
Subtle H500 troughing is expected to overspread the region through
the day with an upper jet max of 50+ kts along the trough basin.
Upper-lvl forcing is expected to remain more modest w/ jet streak
dynamics/DCVA providing some lift/cooling aloft. Additionally, steep
H850-H700 lapse rates of 8-9 C/km will be in place across the FA
this afternoon as mid-lvl height falls/cooling ensue. Sfc and ML
buoyancy progs remain rather stout per morning guidance w/ 2000 to
3000 J/kg across the S/Ern half of the state. Given strong buoyancy
progs and modest bulk shear values of 40-50 kts, a mixed batch of
svr hazards are expected over the S/Ern half of the state this
afternoon and evening.

Latest synoptic and intermittent model initializations have remained
consistent on timing of CI and storm mode depiction/evolution, w/
storms beginning to develop along and ahead of the advancing cold
front over portions of Cntrl AR in the early afternoon hours near 17-
18Z. A period of discrete storm movement seems lkly to persist
following CI through the early evening hours, and thus could
increase the potential for enhanced svr threats including large/
damaging hail and damaging wind gusts. Overall progs for tornadic
potential remain on the lower side given upper lvl unidirectional
shear, however localized low-lvl veering does still support weak,
but favorable hodographs and a conditional, non-zero tornado threat
through the afternoon given discrete storm development and some
lingering residual outflow bndries from morning convection.

Later Sun evening following 00Z, a progression towards upscale
growth into a bigger MCS/complex is expected, w/ the system making
its exit out of Srn AR and into the LA/MS vicinity as the cold frnt
continues to march S/wrd. Following the FROPA, the svr wx threat
should diminish rather quickly over much of Srn and S/Ern AR.

In addition to svr hazards Sun evening, some locally heavy rainfall
is expected given very abundant bndry layer moisture content, w/
Pwat values in excess of 1.5 to 1.8 inches. Training cells or
complexes may lead to excessive rainfall and some flash flooding
tonight, particularly over Srn AR.

...MONDAY...

A broad region of sfc anticyclonic flow and high pressure wl begin
to sag S/wrd out of the Upper Midwest and into the Srn Cntrl Plains,
w/ Nrly winds becoming prevailing pattern through the remainder of
the short term fcst. Drier air wl once again filter into the region
through the day providing some much needed relief from the early
season mugginess, however some lingering PoPs wl remain over much of
the Srn portion of the state as multiple H500 impulses traverse
through mean zonal flow. Given weaker moisture content in the low
lvls, the overall svr threat wl remain minimal w/ some occasional
thunder possible.

...TUESDAY...

A similar day wl prevail on Tues for the FA w/ Nrn sfc high pressure
beginning slide E/wrd, and winds veering to become more E/rly. PoPs
are anticipated to increase in magnitude over the S/Wrn portion of
the state through the day as a more pronounced H500 wave swings
E/wrd out of the Rockies. Given more pronounced forcing, more
widespread PoPs are anticipated w/ more ocsnl thunder possible
through the day.

&&

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Through Sunday

Unsettled weather is expected to continue into the long term period.
However, this continued unsettled weather is expected to last until
around late Wednesday night as major global models suggest
precipitation tapering off from NW to SE. Current thinking suggests
heavier rainfall totals will likely be situated over southern AR for
storms on Wednesday as the system looks to stay along or south of
the AR/LA state line. Severe weather looks to remain an isolated
threat.

As shower activity subsides on Wednesday, high pressure builds in
through the end of the week lowering PoPs and bringing cooler and
dryer air into the CWA late week. Temperatures look to remain in the
70s during the day while low temperatures stay in the upper 40s to
low 50s.

These calm and dry conditions look to be short lived as another
upper level disturbance swings into the area for the weekend.
Overall, effects to the CWA will have to be worked out over the next
few days as models differ on exact time, location, and rainfall
coverage.

&&

.AVIATION...09/18Z TAFs Discussion

A cold frnt was noted Sun afternoon draped over N/Wrn AR, and was
moving S/Ewrd, already through terminals HRO and BPK. Windy condns
wl continue ahead and behind the frnt through the remainder of Sun
w/ strong N/Wrlies behind the bndry. SHRA/TSRA development along and
ahead of the frnt is expected through the afternoon/evening,
impacting all Cntrl and Srn terminals. Some reduced CIGS/VIS wl
accompany any precip w/ MVFR/IFR condns expected. Following the
FROPA late Sun night, precip wl clear over the region through the
end of the PD, w/ BKN/OVC skies expected to remain and gusty N/Wrly
winds becoming more N/Erly by Mon morning.

128 PM CDT Sun May 9 2021

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Strong winds will continue through much of today with sustained
speeds up to 20 to 30 mph and gusts up to 40 mph, especially in
higher terrain.

Additionally, thunderstorms continue to develop with isolated
severe storms possible over central parts of Arkansas early this
afternoon. The possibility of severe storms will then shift to
south and southeast Arkansas this afternoon and into tonight.

The storms will be capable of producing large hail and damaging
wind. While the chances of a tornado are low, it can not be
discounted entirely. Torrential rainfall is also likely with at
least an isolated threat for flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday Through Saturday

Additional rainfall, some heavy, is expected through mid- week
and flash flooding will remain possible. Increasing flows on area
rivers may also become a concern over the southern half of
Arkansas, especially locations already at or above flood stage.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotters are strongly encouraged to contact the NWS with any
severe weather reports today and tonight.
