The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 8, 1:12 PM CST, 4 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 112 PM CST TUE MAR 8 2016 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA IS ONGOING ACROSS ERN OK AND NERN TX EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH JUST SOME ISOLATED SHRA SEEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA SO FAR. THIS WILL CHANGE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOWEVER AS THE WHOLE COMPLEX SHIFTS EAST...AND THE SHRA/TSRA OVERSPREADS THE CWA. THIS FIRST ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA WILL BRING SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN...BUT THE OVERALL FLASH FLOOD THREAT WILL BE ISOLATED GIVEN HOW DRY IT HAS BEEN LATELY. HOWEVER...THIS FIRST ROUND WILL BE THE PRIMER EVENT...ALLOWING THE SOILS TO BECOME SATURATED. THERE MAY ALSO BE A SLIGHT SVR WX THREAT THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT WILL BE LIMITED TO SWRN AND SRN SECTIONS OF THE STATE WHERE INSTABILITY IS ELEVATED. THE CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO WOBBLE TO THE SW OF THE STATE OVER THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH A CONTINUAL SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE LIFTING NORTH INTO THE REGION. AS ADDITIONAL UPPER DISTURBANCES MOVE OVER THE CWA...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHRA/TSRA WILL DEVELOP WED AND THU. IT WILL BE THE SUBSEQUENT ROUNDS OF WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA THAT WILL CREATE A MORE WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOOD THREAT. AS A RESULT...THE FFA WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE SAME TIME AND LOCATIONS AS ALREADY POSTED. FORECAST QPF VALUES THROUGH THU AFTERNOON WILL RANGE FROM LESS THAN 2 INCHES ACROSS THE SERN COUNTIES...TO OVER 6 INCHES ACROSS THE OUACHITA AND INTO THE OZARK MOUNTAINS AREAS. A LARGE PORTION OF THIS WILL FALL WED AND THU...AGAIN WITH AN INCREASING AND MORE WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOOD THREAT DEVELOPING OVER TIME. RECENT DATA IS STILL SHOWING SOME SLIGHT SHIFTS EAST AND WEST IN THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAINFALL. AS A RESULT...SOME CHANGES IN THE HIGHEST QPF COULD STILL BE SEEN...BUT CONFIDENCE IN MANY AREAS SEEING AT LEAST SOME HEAVY RAINFALL IS BECOMING BETTER OVER TIME. THE ONLY CAVEAT THAT COULD ALSO STILL CHANGE THE EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS... COULD BE IF CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH OF AR REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THIS FAR NORTH. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN...AS HAS HAPPENED IN SOME EVENTS IN PREVIOUS YEARS...THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY NOT BE AS EXTREME. EVEN SO...SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL LOOK LIKELY. && .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AS SEVERAL MORE UPPER WAVES MOVE THROUGH AND INTERACT WITH THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL REMAIN A CONCERN. BY SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO AN OPEN WAVE...LIFT NORTH/NORTHEASTWARD AND DAMPEN OUT OVER THE OHIO VALLEY...AS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS RIDGE DEAMPLIFIES. RAIN WILL DIMINISH...BUT WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST THROUGH SUNDAY...AS A SMALL BUT POTENT UPPER LOW MOVES DOWN OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND GIVES THE MEANDERING SURFACE BOUNDARY A PUSH EAST OF THE REGION. BY MONDAY...THE UPPER FLOW WILL FLATTEN OUT...AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION. THIS LULL WILL LIKELY NOT LAST MUCH BEYOND THE END OF THE PERIOD...AS NOAM LONGWAVE PATTERN REMAINS AMPLIFIED AND ACTIVE. && && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
