Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 741 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017 .AVIATION... For the 00z TAFS... The primary aviation weather concern over the next 24 hours is the possibility of MVFR fog during the early morning hours of the day on Saturday. Aside from some early morning fog, persistent southerly winds and VFR conditions are expected for all area TAF sites. Cavanaugh && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 246 PM CDT Fri Apr 14 2017 ) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Sunday Widely scattered, weak convective cells were noted this afternoon, moving to the north, which has formed in a weakly unstable, uncapped environment. This activity will diminish quickly with the loss of solar heating. Similar activity is expected on Saturday, with slightly increased instability expected to add to the late afternoon coverage. A cold front will approach northern sections of the state on Sunday. Moderate instability, and modest 0-6km shear should support a few strong storms during the afternoon. Temperatures will continue to average 10 degrees above normal throughout this period. LONG TERM...Sunday Night Through Friday No sig changes were made to the current fcst as the model solutions rmn in good agreement thru the new work week. Temps are fcst to rmn abv seasonal norms throughout the PD. Upper ridge is fcst to persist ovr the SERN part of the nation early in the PD, but wl tend to flatten leading to more of zonal flow pattern ovr the region. Meanwhile, a fntl bndry wl be working into AR fm the N Sun ngt/Mon, but is expected to bcm quasi-stationary as it encounters the W-E steering flow. The presence of the fnt wl keep a somewhat unsettled wx pattern in place over the FA. The better chances for organized SHRA/TSRA wl be earlier in the PD, due to the close proximity of the FNT. The bndry is expected to eventually lift N of AR by the middle of the week in the week, with mainly dry and unseasonably warm conds. This wl be short-lived as a new storm sys tracks along the fnt and allows it to drop back SWD into AR Thu Ngt/Fri, once again with rain chances returning to mainly the NRN part of AR. Models cont to indc a more potent storm sys is progged to dvlp over the SWRN states later next week, eventually moving into the SRN Plains by early next weekend. Since this system is still about a week out, changes in model guidance are expected. But, the potential for severe storms for parts of AR cannot be ruled out and wl be monitored closely in the coming days. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...CAVANAUGH
