NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 2:35 PM CST, 2 hours 55 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 335 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2001 AS EXPECTED...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FIRE DURING THE AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO UPPER LOW ROTATING OVER SOUTHEAST MO. UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR ALOFT REALLY AIDING IN INSTABILITY AS SURFACE TEMPS HEAT UP INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S BEFORE CONVECTION STARTS. SAW SCATTERED CONVECTION EVEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS LAST NIGHT WITH THAT COLD POOL ALOFT...SO WILL LEAVE SCATTERED STORMS IN ALL NIGHT TONIGHT...BUT WORD AS MAINLY THIS EVENING. WILL ALSO MENTION A FEW MAY BE SEVERE AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AS STORMS NOT MOVING MUCH IN WEAK MID LEVEL FLOW. LOOKS LIKE STATUS QUO THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. MODELS AGREE THAT UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT A LITTLE FURTHER WEST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS...THEN SINK SOUTHWARD TOWARD EASTERN TX. THIS MAY ACTUALLY SERVE TO INCREASE MOISTURE WITH THE SYSTEM AS GULF MOISTURE BECOMES MORE INVOLVED. HOPE WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON DISSIPATES OR MOVES WEST BEFORE THE UPPER LOW BECOMES INVOLVED IN LATER TIME PERIODS. WIULL NOT DEVIATE TOO FAR FRM MOS TEMPS...BUT WILL OVERSHOOT THE SMALL NGM MOS POPS CONSIDERABLY. (45) .LIT...NONE.
