LOW LEVEL JET OVER SE OK TO SW MO SPREADING PLENTY OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD...& ENHANCING LIFT ENOUGH FOR SOME SHOWERS & ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER W-NW AR. THIS AREA WILL ALSO GET THE MOST RAIN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH REPEATED IMPULSES TO MOVE OVER THE AREA...& WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY IN THE AREA. THE DENSE FOG WAS LIFTING AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS ACROSS AREAS...& EARLIER DID TRIM BACK AREA TO NORTHERN AR. DEVELOPING CONVECTION IS HELPING MIX THE ATMOSPHERE...& MAY BE ABLE TO END IT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
