NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 31, 11:45 PM CST, 15 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1245 AM CDT Sun Sep 1 2019 .AVIATION...01/06Z TAF CYCLE VFR prevails for much of the period outside of any BR/FG overnight. Confidence in vsby restrictions is low, although guidance indicates potential for at least MVFR vsby through around 14Z. Otherwise, significant weather not expected with VRB winds under 10 kts. Cooper && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 938 PM CDT Sat Aug 31 2019) UPDATE... Most convection has ended this evening, although some spotty showers are developing across Newton, Van Buren, and Pope Counties within a corridor of H850 moisture advection. Low CIN will allow isolated showers and storms to persist for at least the next few hours. Did also add patchy fog through 14Z where dewpoint depressions are low (aob 3 C). Remainder of forecast is on track. PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 259 PM CDT Sat Aug 31 2019) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Monday An upper level ridge continues centered near the four corners area. Arkansas remains in northwest flow, but the ridge expands eastward into Arkansas Sunday night into Monday. This will keep a mostly dry forecast in the short term. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed in west and central Arkansas this afternoon along a stationary front that runs from southwest to northeast. So far the storms have not shown much movement, as a result flash flooding will be the main threat. Expect these to dissipate after sunset. A weak short wave moves across the area tonight and Sunday morning but this will be in more stable and drier air north of the front. Highs in the mid 80s to mid 90s are expected for Sunday and Monday and lows will be in the mid 60s to lower 70s. LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Saturday Longwave ridging will attempt to re-establish itself over the area, but this shouldn't last long. We will have another couple of days of warm weather, with heat index values pushing 100-105 in the southern 1/3 of Arkansas on Tuesday and Wednesday. By late Wednesday into Thursday, the upper ridge should contract a bit, with troughing developing in the central conus as Dorian passes near the east coast. This will allow for a frontal boundary to push into the region, with maybe a slight increase in rain chances. With this boundary, though, temperatures will be closer to average (or slightly below) in the wake of its passage. This will continue through the end of the period, as surface flow remains out of the east/northeast. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. &&
