NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 1:40 PM CST, 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 240 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2003 INITIALLY I WAS CONSIDERING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT FOR THE SOUTHEAST SECTIONS OF MY COUNTY WARNING AREA. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I DECIDED TO BACK OFF THAT AND TO KEEP MENTION OF HEAVY RAINS ALONG WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST. MOS NUMBERS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY IN THEIR POPS...SO I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE HIGHER NUMBERS FROM THE GFS DUE TO THE TROPICAL NATURE OF THE AIRMASS THAT WILL BE IN PLACE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL BE QUITE HIGH DURING THIS RAIN EVENT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE MUGGY WITH THE HIGH LEVELS OF MOISTURE. LOWS WILL BE WARMING GRADUALLY AS DEW POINTS RISE. HIGHS WILL BE KEPT IN THE 80S TO NEAR 90 RANGE BECAUSE OF CLOUDS AND RAINS.
