AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 1115 AM CDT SAT APR 29 2006 .UPDATE... WILL LOWER THE POPS SOMEWHAT IN THE WEST FOR A FEW HOURS LATE THIS MORNING WHERE SOME CLEARING IS TAKING PLATE ATTM BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP HIGH POPS FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON SINCE THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BRING COLDER TEMPS ALOFT AND WITH WAA AT THE LOWER LEVELS EXPECT INCREASING LAPSE RATE WHICH WILL IN TURN INCREASE THE INSTABILITY OVER WESTERN ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. REMAINDER OF FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK.(38) && .HYDROLOGY...PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. && .PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 630 AM CDT SAT APR 29 2006/ AVIATION... NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE STATE. RAIN HAS BEEN SLOW TO FILL IN...BUT WILL IMPACT ALL AREAS BY LATER ON IN THE MORNING. SOUTH WINDS WILL BE STRONG...WITH SUSTAINED 14 KNOTS GUSTING TO 24 KNOTS EXPECTED AFTER 15Z. RAIN WILL LAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON...BEFORE GRADUALLY DECREASING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. KEPT MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT...AS STRATUS WILL LINGER THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 400 AM CDT SAT APR 29 2006/ SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY UPPER TROF APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND IT WILL THEN PHASE WITH A TROF DROPPING OUT OF THE ROCKIES THEN TAKE UP RESIDENCE IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS. MAIN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS SLOWLY MOVED INTO WESTERN PARTS OF THE CWA THIS MORNING. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SPREAD TO THE EAST AS THE UPPER TROF PULLS INTO THE PLAINS. ALL AREAS SHOULD BE COVERED BY RAIN BY SOMETIME TODAY. STILL LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN MOISTURE AXIS WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT. PUT IN 100 PERCENT POPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR TODAY. LOWERED POPS IN THE EAST A LITTLE FOR EARLY THIS MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE SLOWER MOTION OF THE RAIN AREA INTO THE CWA THEN BEGIN DECREASING POPS FROM THE WEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL LIMIT HEATING TODAY. THIS SHOULD ALSO LIMIT DESTABILIZATION SO DO NOT LOOK FOR A BIG OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER BUT THE PROXIMITY OF STRONG LOW PRESSURE AND RATHER STRONG WIND FIELDS AND RESULTING SHEAR MAY PRODUCE A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH WIND DAMAGE AND SOME LARGE HAIL. A TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. HOWEVER DUE TO THE LIMITED INSTABILITY WILL NOT PLAY UP SEVERE IN THE ZONES. THE MAIN ACTIVITY SHOULD BE PAST THE AREA EARLY TONIGHT BUT WITH THE UPPER TROF AXIS TO THE WEST OF THE AREA WILL CONTINUE WITH AT LEAST CHANCE POPS TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE MAIN PRECIP ON SUNDAY WILL BE NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA BUT WITH THE TROF AXIS TO THE WEST...STILL WILL HAVE TO BE WARY OF ANY SHORT WAVES MOVING AROUND THE LOW AND WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING. WITH LESS OVERALL MOISTURE...CLOUDS SHOULD BREAK SOME WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SOME HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION. THUS IF ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN DEVELOP...THE POTENTIAL WILL BE THERE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. MONDAY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER DAY WITH LITTLE ACTIVITY BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING WITH THE TROF AXIS TO THE WEST. BY MONDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. THIS SHOULD ENHANCE THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AND HAVE POPS IN THE 40 TO 50 RANGE FOR MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THERE COULD BE A SQUALL LINE MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT AND SOME SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORM OF LARGE HAIL OR DAMAGING WIND COULD BE POSSIBLE. LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST ON WEDNESDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE STATE LATE WEDNESDAY .AND CONTINUED FORECAST OF LOW CHANCE POPS THROUGH FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
