AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 336 AM CDT MON JUL 28 2014 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT THE COLD FRONT HAD MADE IT THROUGH ARKADELPHIA AND PINE BLUFF AS OF 3 AM THIS MORNING...AND SHOULD MANAGE TO PUSH OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA BY AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM SUNDAY EVENING DISSIPATED BEFORE MIDNIGHT AND THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD WAS DRY...EXCEPT THAT A FEW MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO POP UP ALONG THE FRONT IN SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS THIS MORNING. BUT AS THE FRONT GOES...SO WILL THESE...AND THEY MOVE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK. OTHERWISE DRY CONDITIONS AND COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND TUESDAY...WITH LOWS NEAR 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL TONIGHT AND HIGHS TODAY AND TUESDAY ABOUT 5-7 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. BY TUE AFTERNOON A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES...WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE AND STRENGTHENING RIDGE OUT WEST. A DISTURBANCE WILL DROP INTO THE REGION IN NW UPPER FLOW EARLY WED MORNING. MODELS INSIST IN BRINGING RAINFALL INTO WESTERN ARKANSAS BY MID WED MORNING...THEN ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THERE MAY BE A LULL IN PRECIP INTENSITY WED NIGHT BUT ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THURSDAY MORNING FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVIER RAINFALL. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL MODEL SOLUTIONS...THERE HAS NOT BEEN MUCH CONSISTENCY WITH RESPECT TO WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL BE. IN GENERAL THOUGH THE MIDDLE GROUND APPROACH WOULD SAY SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF THE I-40 CORRIDOR IS A GOOD BET...AND THE FORECAST WILL REFLECT THAT THINKING. TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WILL BE THE COOLEST OF THE WEEK. BETWEEN THE RAINFALL AND CLOUD COVER TEMPERATURES WILL RUN IN EXCESS OF 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL...AND MAY STRUGGLE TO MAKE 80 DEGREES ON THURSDAY FOR MOST AREAS.

WILL GRADUALLY REMOVE ALL POPS ACROSS THE CWA AS THE AFOREMENTIONED HIGH PRESSURE MAKES ITS PRESENCE FELT. UPPER PATTERN REALLY DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH THROUGH THE PERIOD AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREDOMINATE. WHILE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM SOMEWHAT...THEY WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
