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 Aug 26, 5:34 AM CST, 4 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 634 AM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019 .DISCUSSION... Updated to include the 12Z aviation discussion below... && .AVIATION... Some low CIGs and fog will remain possible this morning...but should see improving conditions later today. However...SHRA/TSRA will return to the forecast late this evening into the overnight period as a cold front drops south into the state. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 405 AM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019) SHORT TERM...Today Through Tuesday Night An upper level shortwave trough is moving east of the CWA early this morning...with some lingering SHRA/TSRA seen across portions of central into ERN sections of the area earlier this morning. Chances for precip will decrease today as this trough continues to shift east. SRLY flow and decreasing cloud cover will allow temps to warm back to near normal this afternoon. Dewpts will also remain fairly high...resulting in some heat index values warming into the upper 90s to just over 100 deg. There may be a few isolated areas seeing heat index values get near 105...but don't think this will be widespread enough for a Heat Adv at this time. By tonight...a cold front will drop SE into the state...with SHRA/TSRA becoming likely. Expect this convection to drop SE into the CWA by late this evening... to near midnight. SHRA/TSRA look to be dropping south through central sections of the CWA by the Tue morning...and eventually seeing precip coverage decrease by midday Tue. Some lingering chances for SHRA/TSRA will be possible Tue afternoon into Tue night...mainly across SRN into SW sections of the area. As for the threat for SVR Wx...some strong to SVR storms will be possible with the activity tonight into early Tue morning. The best chances for seeing strong/SVR storms will be late this evening...mainly across far NWRN sections of the area. Damaging winds will be the primary SVR threat...with some hail also possible. Locally heavy rainfall may lead to isolated flash flooding. Expect the threat for seeing severe weather to become low by Tue into Tue night. LONG TERM...Wednesday Through Sunday The long term period begins with a rather amplified H500 pattern in the form of a deep trough axis centered over the upper midwest with dominant cyclonic flow over most of the Central US. For the forecast area, yet again, this means mostly NW upper level flow. Strong surface anticyclonic flow will be centered over Kansas, creating northerly winds for the Natural State. Coupled with this, a cold front will be positioned along the AR/LA border and will be the focus for increased precip chances in Southern AR. Drier and cooler air will slowly sag south through the day, bringing below normal temperatures with highs in the 80s and lows reaching into the 60s for much of the forecast area. Surface high pressure will propagate to the east and eventually settle in over the Ozarks by Thursday, suppressing any chances for rain in the region. With dewpoints below 70 degrees, this will allow heat indices to actually somewhat equal the real air temperature. Greater rain chances return by Friday morning and will persist through Saturday. H500 flow transitions to a less amplified state as the upper low moves eastward and subtle ridging settles in over the Rockies. A few shortwave vort maximums will swing through the H500 flow, providing some forcing for rain chances across mostly NW AR. Beyond Saturday night, temperatures and low level moisture will slowly begin to increase. However, expect temperatures to remain near or just below normal, with mainly dry conditions forecast. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...62
