Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 11:43 PM CST, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Little Rock AR
1243 AM CDT Mon Jul 1 2019
.AVIATION...06Z Forecast
Expect patchy mvfr fog through the morning hours Monday, which
will scatter out as the gradient increases after sunrise. Isolated
showers/storms will again be possible, primarily in the afternoon
and early evening hours. Winds will primarily be out of the south
around six to eight knots or less, with VFR conditions
prevailing.

.PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 235 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019)
SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Tuesday
Latest satellite and radar data indicate scattered single cell
convection has developed across the southern half of the forecast
area, moving west-northwestward. This activity has formed in
moderately unstable, weakly sheared environment, and is supported
by upper level energy centered over east Texas. Most of this
activity will end with the loss of solar insolation.
The upper level energy will move slowly northwestward during
this period. Expect the focus for afternoon convection to
move northwestward accordingly.
Near normal temperatures are expected during this period.
LONG TERM...Tuesday Night Through Sunday
Only minor changes were made to the ongoing long term portion of the
forecast this afternoon. H500 ridging will remain in place over the
state as well as much of the region through the period, with
increasing heights by late week. Surface ridging will remain over
the area as well, although primarily centered to the southeast.
Temperatures through the period will largely be near normal, but as
the upper ridge intensifies later in the week temperatures will warm
further. Some areas could experience highs in the mid 90s with lows
only falling into the mid 70s. With Td values in the lower to mid
70s at times, heat indices could exceed advisory criteria on Friday.
Precip will remain rather spotty and primarily diurnally driven in
nature. Near the end of the period, there is some indication in the
surface pattern that a cold front may approach. If this occurs, it
could help provide more of a focus for precip development.
