Some breezy winds will gradually lessen by later this afternoon...with light and variable winds expected by tonight. Some patchy MVFR CIGs will remain possible at the NRN terminals...but should see VFR conditions for all sites by later this morning. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 325 AM CDT Fri Mar 15 2019) SHORT TERM...Today Through Saturday Night Much quieter conditions are ongoing across the CWA early this Fri morning compared to this time Thu morning...with just some occasional breezy NW winds. SFC high pressure to the west will gradually shift east towards the state trough tonight...with the winds gradually weakening over time. Temps will be notably colder today compared to Thu...with highs below normal. As the high pressure move over the state tonight into Sat...winds will become light and variable. This will allow low temps to drop well below normal tonight/Sat morning...with lows dipping down into the upper 20s to low 30s across the NRN counties...and the 30s to near 40 elsewhere. Dry weather will persist. Slightly warmer conditions will be seen for Sat afternoon and night as the high pressure starts to move east...and weak SRLY flow returns. Highs on Sat will still be below normal...but a few deg warmer than this afternoon. The same will be said for lows Sat night...though fewer areas will see sub-freezing temps. LONG TERM...Sunday Through Thursday Fairly quiet long term forecast with very few changes made to the current forecast. Long term begins with Arkansas in NW flow and surface High pressure in control of our weather. Temperatures will be right around normal for much of the long term. By Tuesday night we will start to see a pattern change as upper trough pushes off to the east. Before it completely pushes east, we will see some small rain chances mainly across northern and northeast Arkansas. Towards the end of the long term an upper level ridge will build in over the state...however the finer details will need to be worked out as there is a fairly large difference with timing of the next storm system approaching the state late next weekend. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...62
