AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
713 PM CDT SUN APR 2 2006

.UPDATE...
ALL OF THE HEAVY WEATHER HAS EXITED OUR AREA TO THE EAST. HAVE LEFT
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN FOR THIS EVENING AS
COLD FRONT MAKES ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE LET THE LAKE WIND
ADVISORY EXPIRE AS OF 00Z. WINDS STILL GUSTY...BUT THINK THEY SHOULD
BE DECREASING A LITTLE AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES. ALL UPDATES GONE.
&&

.PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 708 PM CDT SUN APR 2 2006/

AVIATION...
COLD FRONT CONTINUING TO MOVE ACROSS ARKANSAS AT EARLY EVENING WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WEST AFTER
FRONTAL PASSAGE. GOOD VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AND ON
MONDAY.

PREV DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 200 PM CDT SUN APR 02 2006

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
APPROACHING COLD FRONT CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA...AND
EXTENDING INTO THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF NORTHEAST TEXAS. CLUSTER OF
STORMS DEVELOPED EARLIER ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND MOVED INTO
WESTERN TENNESSEE/NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. JUDGING BY THE CAPPING
INVERSION FROM THE 18Z SOUNDING...THAT MAY VERY WELL HAVE BEEN THE
MAIN SHOW CONVECTION-WISE FOR TODAY. CAN/T RULE OUT ISOLATED
CONVECTION INTO THE EARLY EVENING...BUT THIS WOULD MAINLY BE ACROSS
THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AS A PRE-FRONTAL WAVE MOVES THROUGH ON ITS WAY
TOWARD NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT OVER THE FAR SOUTH LATE TONIGHT...ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
MOVES INTO SOUTHERN ARKANSAS.

HOWEVER...BY MONDAY MORNING...THINGS WILL BE CLEARING UP AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES DOWN IN THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...AND THE COLD
FRONT HEADS TOWARD THE GULF COAST REGION. WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE
SURFACE HIGH...COOLER WEATHER RETURNS AS FLOW BECOMES NORTHERLY/
NORTHEASTERLY. UNFORTUNATELY THIS WILL NOT LAST LONG. AS THE HIGH
MOVES EASTWARD ON WEDNESDAY...WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHEASTERLY...
BEGINNING A WARMUP.

NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN COMES ON WEDNESDAY...AS A WARM FRONT MOVES UP
FROM THE GULF COAST.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE UNABATED THROUGH THE EXTENDED WITH
A SIGNIFICANT TROF AND DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHEN
THE PERIOD INITIATES. ALL MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
BOTH THIS INDIVIDUAL FEATURE AND THE OVERALL PATTERN OF A MEAN TROF
OFF THE WEST COAST AND A MEAN RIDGE IN THE CENTRAL CONUS. RIDGING IS
OCCASIONALLY KNOCKED DOWN BY PACIFIC SYSTEMS LIKE THE ONE EARLY IN
THE PERIOD BUT ALWAYS SEEMS TO REBOUND. THE NEXT IN THE SERIES OF
SYSTEMS WILL BE OVER THE WEST COAST WHEN THE PERIOD ENDS. THAT BEING
SAID...WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF MODELS THIS AFTERNOON.

AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
WITH SURFACE REFLECTION OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. PRE
FRONTAL TROF LOOKS TO BE BISECTING THE STATE FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WITH TRAILING COLD FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. WILL CONTINUE SOME SHOWERS OVER THE EAST THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE DAY BUT AMOUNTS LOOK MINIMAL AT THIS POINT. SOME
MOISTURE ROTATING AROUND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE
STATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY BUT DYNAMICS LACKING AND ONLY SOME
CLOUD COVER IS EXPECTED. SURFACE HIGH MOVES IN FOR SUNDAY AND NO
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED STATEWIDE.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY WITH PRONOUNCED
SOUTHERLY FLOW AT LEAST THROUGH MID DAY UNTIL FROPA. NORTHERLY FLOW
RETURNS FOR DAYS SIX AND SEVEN WITH TEMPERATURES BACK TO SEASONAL
NORMS.
