Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
1235 PM CDT Fri Oct 15 2021

.AVIATION...

Strong to severe thunderstorms are likely to develop across the
state Friday afternoon. Southerly winds will become northwesterly,
with nonconvective gusts up to 25 mph. Strong and damaging winds
and large hail are the main threats. Ceilings will likely vary
from IFR and MVFR. The front will pass Friday evening with
clearing behind the front through the rest of the period.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 446 AM CDT Fri Oct 15 2021)
SHORT TERM...Today Through Saturday

Bottom line up front: A cold front will move across Arkansas
today, probably bringing with it some strong thunderstorms,
especially during the afternoon hours of the day. The main threat
associated with strong to severe storms would be damaging winds. The
cold front will definitely bring much drier and cooler air into
the region for the weekend.

Details...if you want them:

Early morning subjective surface analysis placed a cold front near
Muskogee, OK, extending southwest across central Oklahoma, but
southeast of the OKC metro area to somewhere around Wichita Falls,
TX. Along this cold front, the weather was mostly quiet, but
regional radars showed a fairly well organized linear mesoscale
convective system (MCS) move east towards Fort Smith, AR and
points to the north across northwest Arkansas in general. Across
far southeast Arkansas, regional radars continued to show an area
of persistent but shallow convection from Fordyce/Monticello/Pine
Bluff moving northeast towards the Memphis metro area. Earlier
this morning, when the heavier rain showers and thunderstorms were
over southeast Arkansas, rainfall rates were falling at about 1
in per hour. Most of that rain will likely move northeast away
from the state by sunrise.

Early morning water vapor satellite imagery showed the deeper,
more organized MCS currently over far northeast Oklahoma had
developed just southwest of the Oklahoma City metro area, before
expanding in coverage and intensity as it moves northeast. This
makes sense as the Storm Prediction Center's objective analysis
system shows the linear MCS tapping into a corridor of higher
theta-e air at or around the 925 mb layer. These storms will
continue to move northeast as water vapor satellite imagery shows
a trough over the central Great Plains providing relatively strong
southwest winds aloft.

The MCS itself has been organized long enough and has released
enough latent heat to act as its own small/mesoscale low pressure
system. The continued release of latent heat will have created a
fairly strong mid-level vortex while destroying the troughing
aloft by creating a potential vorticity bubble in the middle of
the upper trough. These dynamics have allowed the MCS to pull east
away from the southwest winds aloft and move more directly at
Arkansas rather than Missouri. This MCS will likely weaken an hour
or so after sunset and the low-level moisture axis feeding it
begins to mix with drier air above and below the 925 mb level, but
the mid-level dynamics will remain, even if all of the
precipitation eventually dissipates by mid-morning. Assuming this
happens, and the MCS doesn't get rooted to a surface based influx
of moisture, it will leave behind a mesoscale convective vortex
(MCV) that we will have to watch closely later this afternoon as
it will likely play a role on where and when storms develop during
the peak heating hours of the day.

As for Arkansas and our forecast for today, the confidence in the
high and low temperature are pretty high...highs will top out in
the lower to mid 80s, while lows will fall into the mid to upper
40s behind the front. What remains uncertain is how much, how
severe, and where storms will develop this afternoon across the
state. The answer might be as easy as following the cold front.
That's certainly what our convective parameterizing model
guidance suggests. If storms simply develop more or less uniformly
along the front, they will encounter plentiful heat and humidity,
measuring up to 1500 to 2000 J/kg of thunderstorm potential
energy (CAPE) and wind shear with winds near the surface out of
the south-southwest at 10 to 15 kts, and winds 5-6 km aloft at 50
to 60 kts, allowing for a bulk wind shear difference on the order
of 40 to 50 kts...certainly sufficient for supporting strong to
severe thunderstorms if they are able to develop in the first
place.

If storms develop in this environment, the 0-6km bulk shear vector
will be out of the southwest at 40-50 kts, or oriented nearly
parallel to the position of the cold frontal boundary as it moves
across the state today. If storms are more or less uniformly
aligned along the front, they would interact with low-level wind
shear in completely perpendicular manner, as the storms moving
southeast with the front would be almost directly orthogonal to
the southwesterly bulk shear/winds aloft. This is also known as a
cross-wise low-level shear/thunderstorm interaction which makes
thunderstorms behave in a manner that it much more supportive of
damaging winds than it is for tornadoes. There will be a chance
for hail with these storms either way, as there is plenty of
thunderstorm energy in the form of heat and humidity present to
allow for storms tall enough and organized enough to allow hail to
develop. The threat of damaging winds and some large hail...on
average, hail up to the size of a quarter, are the primary reasons
that much of Arkansas is included in a marginal to slight risk of
severe storms today by the Storm Prediction Center.

The key forecast problem today therefore doesn't appear to be tied
to the type or severity of storms we get, because if we get
storms, everything I've typed about above here pretty accurately
describes how they will behave and what they'll do. They'll
typically organize into linear structures, some bowed out
structures, and at the apex of those bows you'll find the
strongest potential for wind damage at the surface. The key
forecast problem is, will we get storms at all today. Looking at
convective parameterizing models guidance versus convection
allowing model guidance, the convection parameterizing model
guidance initiates its shallow convection scheme without tripping
its deep convection scheme. What does that mean? Well, it means
the model generates rainfall (or simulated reflectivity) but
doesn't otherwise show the dynamics of a thunderstorm system
moving across the state in most of its other mass fields (e.g.
leaving the humidity at the 700 mb level at 10%, among many other
factors).

The problem with thunderstorm convection initiation today appears
to be the lack of strong forcing for ascent versus a very warm and
humid lower atmosphere with a very hot and dry upper atmosphere in
place at the same time. We do have a pretty strong cold front
moving across the state today, but that frontal
circulation/density current will only push warm and humid air up
so high before either forcing aloft or free convection kicks in to
allow the thunderstorm to take off and become a system all on its
own. It's a fascinating, but incredibly complex problem to
unravel, but one way to do so is to take a cross section of the
air across the state this afternoon from northwest to southeast
and diagnose what the model(s) are doing aloft.

Loading parameters like Petterson or QG frontogenesis, saturated
theta-e, ageostrophic vertical motions and humidity can all help
diagnose the likelihood of air "breaking the cap" and allowing
thunderstorms to blossom all along the front this afternoon.
Performing this analysis early this morning showed that from the
surface to about the 800 mb level, there is a very focused, but
somewhat shallow layer of strong instability. The air forced
upwards by frontogenetic forcing into this layer causes the air to
rise rapidly until there is no more support for "pushing" the air
up anymore. The most common upper level forcing for ascent is
known as differential positive vorticity advection (DPVA), and
very little will exist over Arkansas today...unless...something
happened to the southwest flow aloft to break up the otherwise dry
and fast southwesterly flow aloft.

Looking at the cross section, the frontogenetic forcing works on
breaking the cap throughout much of the day headed into the early
afternoon hours, but with no thunderstorm activity activated yet
(despite the simulated reflectivity the model "outputs", the
model isn't out-putting that anyways, but that's a story for
another time.). The cross section does show that some higher
saturated theta-e air breaks into some lower saturated theta-e air
aloft during the peak heating hours of the day. Watching it in
motion reminds me of a time lapse of a flower blooming...which
means I've typed too long and I'm probably getting too tired, but
stick with me here.

If storms are going to fire along this cold front today, they are
most likely going to do so after 1-2 pm CDT, but may occur faster
if the front encounters the MCV left over from the early morning
northeast Oklahoma storm system, the MCV (see, I brought it all
back together here at the end). If we can see the MCV on visible
satellite imagery, and we see the front moving, where the front
meets the MCV, the first storms are likely to develop, and develop
quickly. If they never meet up, we may still see some strong
storms, but their coverage will likely be much more limited than
previously expected.

Either way, any individual storm that develops will have a chance
at becoming strong and/or severe, with damaging winds posing the
primary threat. If any "bow echoes" get really well developed,
they could alter the environment enough to support the chance of a
weak/brief tornado on the northern bookend of the bow, but this
looks unlikely at this time.

Behind the front, the forecast gets much less complicated as cool
and dry air filter into the state, clearing skies out, and
bringing temperatures down into the mid to upper 40s.

Saturday will once again remain somewhat simple weather wise with
cool and dry air in place with highs in the lower to mid 70s.

Saturday night will be cooler with a cooler start to the overnight
hours under mostly clear skies allowing temperatures to fall into
the mid to lower 40s for most locations across the state.

Hope you have a great day!

Cavanaugh

LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Friday

At the beginning of the period, surface high pressure will be
moving through the region, with upper ridging being predominant
over the central conus east of the Rockies. By mid-week, the
longwave pattern will begin to flatten out a bit, with the surface
high moving toward the Eastern Seaboard. Temperatures will
moderate through the week, though most areas should stay in the
70s to lower 80s for highs. By Thursday, an upper trough will be
moving into the plains, and this will push a frontal boundary into
the region. With fairly flattened upper flow, there really won't
be significant deep moisture return ahead of the front, but the
boundary should provide enough synoptic scale lift for small
chances of showers/storms.
