Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 2:20 PM CST, 9 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 320 PM CDT THU JUN 14 2001 OBVIOUS FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE WITH THE 1ST AND EARLY 2ND PERIODS AS COLD FRONT MARCHES THROUGH THE STATE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON TIMING...THOUGH ETA/NGM SEEM JUST A BIT SLOWER. THUS...WILL HOLD ONTO POPS INTO THE DAY FRI... ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. LOOKS LIKE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE WIDESPREAD OVERNIGHT...WITH BEST CHANCES BEFORE MIDNIGHT OVER THE WEST AND AFTER MIDNIGHT FURTHER EAST INTO CENTRAL...AND EVENTUALLY EASTERN AR. MISSING SOME UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...BUT MID/LOWER LEVEL PARAMETERS AND INSTABILITY ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE STORMS IN EASTERN OK THIS EVENING. SEVERE THREAT MAY DECREASE SOMEWHAT AFTER MIDNIGHT AS HEATING WILL BE LOST AND MOST OF THE UPPER SUPPORT BRUSHES BY TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER...STILL THINK SVR CHANCES ARE HIGH ENOUGH OVER THE EASTERN ZONES TO WARRANT A MENTION IN THE ZONES. WILL HANG ON TO POPS FRIDAY MORNING SOUTHEAST HALF. MAY EVEN BE ENOUGH RESIDUAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHEAST ZONES FRI AFTERNOON FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT...BUT THINK MOST OF THE FORCING WILL BE EAST OF THE REGION BY THEN. LOOKS HIGH AND DRY SAT-MON AS UPPER HIGH BUILDS BACK IN AND TAKES RESIDENCE. AIR WILL BE A BIT DRIER SAT-SUN...BUT WILL HEAT UP WELL IN THE AFTERNOON. COULD SEE SOME 30-35 DEGREE DIOURNAL TEMP CHANGES OVER THE WEEKEND. WILL STAY CLOSE TO THE AVN/NGM MOS TEMPS. (45) .LIT...NONE
