Area forecast discussion, Aug 20, 1:56 PM CST, 3 hours 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 256 PM CDT SAT AUG 20 2011 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT CONVECTION HAS INITIATED ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA....PER LATEST RADAR AND SATELLITE IMAGERY. OBJECTIVE SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES A NEARLY STATIONARY BOUNDARY...FROM NEAR HARRISON...TO NEAR PINE BLUFF. EXPECT THIS BOUNDARY TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR ADDTIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEAR TERM. A WEAK SHORT WAVE...ANALYZED FROM NORTHEAST MISSOURI TO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...SHOULD PROMOTE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT AS IT MOVES TO THE EAST. INSTABILITY FIELDS INDICATE SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES OF OVER 4000 J/KG ALONG THE BOUNDARY. 0-6KM SHEAR WILL BE MAXIMIZED ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS. FORECAST NEAR TERM SHEAR/INSTABILTY PROFILES SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIZED CELLS IN THE NORTH THROUGH 03Z. THE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT TERM...AND SHOULD PROMOTE A CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL...ALTHOUGH LESS REFINED AS THE BOUNDARY WEAKENS. && .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY AFTER A POTENTIALLY UNSETTLED START TO THE LONG TERM...A GOOD DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE FCST LATER THIS WEEK AS MED RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A TROPICAL SYSTEM IMPACTING THE FL PENINSULA BEGINNING LATE THU. ONE MAY WONDER WHY A TROPICAL SYSTEM AFFECTING FL MATTERS TO AR. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT MANY ARKANSANS LIKE TO VACATION TO FL...A TROPICAL SYSTEM EXERTS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE OVERALL UPR PATTERN THAT AFFECTS THE WEATHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY. IF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM IS AS STRONG AS IS CURRENTLY ADVERTISED AND TRACKS ACROSS FL OR THE FAR SE US...IT WILL LIKELY ACT TO ENHANCE NRLY UPPER FLOW BTW THE TROPICAL LOW AND THE STRONG UPR RIDGE TO OUR WEST. THIS TYPE OF UPR FLOW IS KNOWN TO BE CONDUCIVE TO DRIVING COLD FRONTS INTO AND THROUGH AR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS WOULD LEAD TO COOLER...DRIER WX FOR NEXT WEEKEND. HOWEVER...IF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM IS WEAKER OR MOVES FURTHER EAST OFF THE US EAST COAST...THE STORY MAY BE DIFFERENT. SUBJECTIVE H5 ANALOG ANALYSIS FROM HEAT EVENTS THIS SUMMER HINTS THAT IN THE ABSENCE OF A TROPICAL SYSTEM...THE UPR RIDGE COULD TRY TO BUILD BACK EAST INTO THE STATE AS THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX WEAKENS AND TROUGHINESS REDEVELOPS OVER MAINE AND THE CANADIAN MARITIMES. THIS SITUATION WOULD BE CONDUCIVE TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS RETURNING. SO WHAT THIS ALL MEANS IS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TROPICS OVER THE NEXT WEEK. THIS FORECAST WILL HEDGE TOWARD WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MORE LIKELY SOLUTION OF A STRONGER TROPICAL SYSTEM AND ENHANCED NRLY FLOW AND COOLER/DRIER WX FOR AR. LOST IN ALL OF THAT SHUFFLE IS THAT THE LONG TERM WILL LIKELY START WITH UNSETTLED WX ON WED AND THU AS A COLD FRONT WORKS INTO THE STATE. HAVE INCREASED POPS FROM WED AFTERNOON THROUGH THU AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT. TEMPS WILL PROBABLY BE A BIT ABOVE NORMAL WED TRENDING TO NEAR NORMAL BY SAT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
