ETA IS MODEL OF CHOICE, HOWEVER THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SIGNIFICANT
MODEL INITIALIZATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THIS AND THE OTHER MODELS.
SUBJECTIVE COMPARISON OF UPPER AIR DATA SUGGESTS THE ETA AND THE NGM
HAVE AN OVERALL SUPERIOR HANDLE ON THE CURRENT WEATHER PATTERN. AS

OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR MOST AREAS OF ARKANSAS TODAY. WE ARE
MARGINALLY UNSTABLE NOW AND COULD POSSIBLY BECOME MORE UNSTABLE BY
THIS AFTERNOON. WITH COLD FRONT MOVING INTO NORTHWEST SECTIONS NOW
