AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 1230 PM CDT FRI JUL 21 2006 .AVIATION... A COLD FRONT IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH TOWARD ARKANSAS. WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT. THIS FRONT WILL INCREASE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. CEILINGS BLO 2K FT AND VISIBILITIES OF 2-4SM ARE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR THUNDERSTORMS. PRECIPITATION SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA DURING EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. && .PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 1220 PM CDT FRI JUL 21 2006/ COLD FRONT WILL PUSH FROM SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. MAINLY POST FRONTAL SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP...FOLLOWED BY COOLER AIR ON SATURDAY. AT THIS POINT...APPEARS THAT PRECIPITATION COULD BE FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES LATE THIS EVENING/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. PRECIPITATION MAY THIN OUT OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE STATE AFTER DAWN SATURDAY BEFORE STORMS REDEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO HAVE SEVERE WEATHER NORTH OF LITTLE ROCK OVERNIGHT. STORMS SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT ELEVATED GIVEN THAT THEY WILL BE POST FRONTAL. GIVEN THIS...LOOKING FOR LARGE HAIL. HOWEVER...RAPID COOLING ALOFT DUE TO PRECIPITATION LOADING COUPLED WITH HOT/DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE USUALLY LEADS TO WIND DAMAGE...SO THIS WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN AS WELL. .PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 630 AM CDT FRI JUL 21 2006/ AVIATION... WL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH MAINLY HIGHER LVL CLOUDS THIS MRNG WITH SOME PTCHY HZ/BR REDUCING VSBYS TO MVFR LVLS BEFORE 14Z. VFR CONDS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL THRU MUCH OF DAY. CDFNT WL BE APCHG NRN AR ARND 00Z. SHRA/TSRA COVERAGE WL INCRS AT KHRO AND KBPK...WITH MVFR/IFR CONDS EXPECTED IN CONVECTION. RAINFALL WL AFFECT CNTRL AR STARTING ARND 06Z AND INTO PARTS OF SERN AR TOWARD THE END OF THE FCST PD. PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 312 AM CDT FRI JUL 21 2006/ SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT THE FURNACE IS AT FULL FIRE FOR ONE MORE DAY. EXPECT HIGHS TODAY RANGING FROM THE LOWER 90S IN THE MOUNTAINS TO AROUND 100-105 ELSEWHERE. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE SINCE...WELL...LAST WEEK...HEAT INDICES WILL TOP 105 IN MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY. THUS...LEFT THE HEAT ADVISORY IN PLACE. WENT CLOSE TO MAV TEMPS FOR HIGHS TODAY. FRONT CURRENTLY HUNG UP IN THE PLAINS WILL GAIN MOMENTUM LATER TODAY...AS UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE NORTHWESTERLY AND UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA BEGINS TO RETROGRADE. THE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEGINNING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED STORMS POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE FRONT...BUT THE BETTER COVERAGE WILL BE POST-FRONTAL...AS MOISTURE RIDES UP OVER THE COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT. GOOD LAPSE RATES...ALONG WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATERS WILL SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF ELEVATED STORMS...ESPECIALLY AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS/SOUTHERN MISSOURI. SOME STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...MAINLY IN NORTHERN ARKANSAS. GREATEST THREAT WOULD BE WIND AND HAIL. HOWEVER...FEEL THAT THE BIGGER THREAT/MORE COVERAGE WILL BE IN SOUTHERN MISSOURI. FRONT WILL CLEAR THE AREA ON SATURDAY... WITH HIGH PRESSURE PUSHING IN BEHIND THE SYSTEM. ANY LINGERING PRECIP WILL COME TO AN END BY SATURDAY NIGHT. SOUNDS KIND OF FUNNY USING THIS WORD WHEN YOU/RE TALKING ABOUT 90 DEGREE WEATHER...BUT...***COOLER*** TEMPS WILL BE NOTED WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...AND THIS WILL LAST INTO THE EARLY WEEK...AS UPPER FLOW REMAINS NORTHWESTERLY AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES. LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY SFC HIGH PRES WL BE SLIDING E OF THE FA AT THE START OF THE PD. THIS WILL ALLOW SLY FLOW TO RETURN TO THE REGION. SOME LOW LVL MOISTURE RETURN WL BE NOTED AHEAD OF AN APCHG UPPER TROF FM THE NW BY WED. SINCE THE RH LVLS ARE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE ATTM...HAVE INDCD SLGT CHC POPS FOR MAINLY THE SERN HALF OF THE FA THRU MIDWEEK. ANOTHER FNTL BNDRY IS PROGGED TO APCH NRN AR JUST BEYOND THE PD. GFS CONTS TO SUFFER FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK IN REGARDS TO QPF...SO WL STICK WITH LOW POPS FOR NOW. && .LZK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
