AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 640 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2007 .AVIATION... MAINLY VFR THIS EVENING & OVERNIGHT. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS & TSTRMS THIS EVENING WILL HAVE MVFR WITH 2-5K FT CEILINGS...3-6SM VSBYS & GUSTY WINDS 10-20 MPH. OVERALL WINDS SE 5-10 MPH. TOWARD MIDNIGHT & INTO THE OVERNIGHT...ONLY SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED. PATCHY MVFR CEILINGS...2-4K FT...WITH PATCHY FOG VSBYS 3-6SM BR. WEDNESDAY CHANCES OF RAIN WILL BE CLOSER TO 50-60 PERCENT...ESPECIALLY IN THE LATE MORNING TO THE EVENING. (59) && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 254 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2007/ .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...AS H5 LOW MEANDERS AROUND OUT IN THE PLAINS. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING A STEADY STREAM OF GULF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. THE MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH ENERGY MOVING THROUGH IN THE MEAN FLOW...AND ANY DAYTIME HEATING...AS WELL AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN THE REGION. THE RESULT WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS... WITH THE MOST COVERAGE DURING THE DAYTIME AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. MORNING UPPER AIR SOUNDINGS INDICATE 1.5 TO 2 INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER OVER THE REGION...WITH LIGHT MID AND UPPER LEVEL WINDS. THUS...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STRONGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WITH UPPER RIDGE REMAINING IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS... AND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY EXTENDING INTO EASTERN ARKANSAS...BEST SHOT AT HEAVIER RAINFALL/MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE WILL BE IN THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. BY LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH THE REGION AS THE UPPER RIDGE CONTRACTS A BIT TO THE SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...WITH THE RIDGE LARGELY REMAINING IN PLACE...THE FRONT WILL NOT GET VERY FAR INTO ARKANSAS...WHICH IS TYPICALLY THE CASE THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE SYSTEM WILL LIKELY HANG UP OVER THE NORTH FOR THE END OF THE SHORT TERM...WHICH WILL RE-FOCUS THE AXIS OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION OVER THE AFOREMENTIONED REGION. THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST...PARTICULARLY FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES...IS NOT A VERY HIGH-CONFIDENCE ONE...GIVEN THE VARIABILITY OF CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. ANY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS COULD BLOW THE MAX TEMP FORECAST SKY HIGH...THOUGH IT DOES APPEAR THE GFS MOS GUIDANCE IS THE MOST REALISTIC AND PROPERLY TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ALL THE VARIABLES. WE WILL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH. && .LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY IN THE UPPER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND LOW PRESSURE WILL BE OVER ARKANSAS. AN UPPER TROUGH WILL BE OVER THE EAST COAST. THE HIGH WILL PUSH THE LOW SOUTH OF ARKANSAS LATE SUNDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER ARKANSAS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA AT THE SURFACE SATURDAY. AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH...DRIER AIR WILL REPLACE THE MORE MOIST AIR. INCREASED POPS FOR THE WEEKEND...BUT REMOVED THEM FOR MONDAY. WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA POPS ARE NOT LIKELY NEEDED FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH CLOUDS OVER THE AREA...THEN BACK TO NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
