AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 318 PM CST SUN NOV 27 2005 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT STRONG LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST THROUGH KANSAS. STRONG SHEAR IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM AND HELICITY VALUES HAVE INCREASED TO OVER 400 ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. KLZK RADAR SHOWS A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN FAR WESTERN SECTIONS. COLD FRONT CURRENTLY IN OKLAHOMA WILL MOVE THROUGH ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT TO NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY 12Z. SPC CONTINUES MODERATE RISK OVER THE AREA TONIGHT. DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED. WITH A TIGHT GRADIENT AROUND THAT SURFACE LOW...WILL CONTINUE THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH 12Z AND EXPECT WIND GUSTS TO 35 MPH. AS LOW MOVES INTO IOWA ON MONDAY...WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL MAKE IT INTO THE NORTH...THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH SECTIONS THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. && .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY 12Z GFS CAME IN ALMOST THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE 00Z AND 06Z RUNS WERE SHOWING FOR LATE THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BASICALLY SHOWING MOISTURE AND CHANCES OF RAIN DURING TIME PERIODS THE EARLIER RUNS WERE SHOWING AS DRY AND SHOWING DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS DURING WHAT WERE MOIST PERIODS. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN TRANSITIONS INTO SOMEWHAT OF A FAST ZONAL FLOW PATTERN LATE IN THE WEEK AND THIS WILL LEAD TO FAST MOVING WEAK SYSTEMS THAT WILL BE HARD TO TIME AND CAN EASILY CHANGE CHARACTER IN LATER RUNS. DECIDED TO STICK PRETTY MUCH WITH WHAT THE 00Z AND 06Z RUNS WERE SHOWING FOR NOW AND MADE LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FORECAST. DID INSERT SOME POPS INTO THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY WITH THOSE TRANSLATING INTO THE SOUTHEAST SUNDAY NIGHT. WAS GOING TO DROP POPS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT BUT SINCE THE 12Z GFS IS INDICATING MOISTURE IN THE AREA...DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SMALL POPS IN FOR NOW. TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR OR A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL. BASED ON ALL THIS AND NO STRONG SYSTEMS...SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WINTER PRECIPITATION OR SEVERE WEATHER IN THIS CWA THROUGH THE EXTENDED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
