NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 11:20 PM CST, 40 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1220 AM CDT Wed Jul 1 2020 .UPDATE... Updated to include 06z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... A period of MVFR conditions may develop near sunrise as low clouds develop. But, VFR conditions should return by mid-day. Isolated to scattered showers/storms will be possible Wednesday, mainly across NE AR with some activity potentially impacting northern and central AR terminals. Sfc winds will be out of the SW, gusty at times. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 612 PM CDT Tue Jun 30 2020) DISCUSSION... Updated to include the 00Z aviation discussion below... AVIATION... Some isolated convection will remain possible late this afternoon into the early evening hrs...mainly across the NRN/NERN portions of the area. Otherwise...chances for precip overnight will be relatively low. There may be some MVFR conditions around sunrise at some sites. Some afternoon convection will again be possible at all terminals...but best chances may be across the NRN terminals. PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 219 PM CDT Tue Jun 30 2020) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Thursday... During the remainder of the short term, a weak ridge will continue to build across the midsection of the country, with upper level trofs remaining over the east and west coast respectively. At the surface, a moist southerly flow will continue, allowing dewpoints to remain in the 70's thru the period. With the ridge building across the area and the absence of any synoptic scale features, afternoon and evening thunderstorm activity should be less prominent thru the short term period. The greatest concern at the moment will be heat index values tomorrow and Thursday. With high dewpoints and temps in the 90's in most areas, heat indices tomorrow should top out at 105 or greater across most areas, excluding higher terrain. With this in mind, I will issue a heat advisory starting at noon tomorrow thru 7 PM Thursday. Technically, one or two counties in the southeast may not quite reach a heat index of 105 tomorrow (it will be close), but those areas will reach or exceed 105 on Thursday. For the sake of simplicity, I opted to include those areas both days. LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Tuesday... Upper level ridging will be in place over much of the central and southern portions of the CONUS by the end of the week. A 500mb trough will be moving south around the east side of the high through the MS valley region. Meanwhile, a surface boundary will move southward, passing through the state providing rain and thunderstorm chances, mainly over the eastern portions of the state, though the rest of the state will have chances for diurnally driven afternoon showers and storms. A cutoff low will develop over the Gulf states this weekend and will provide additional rain chances for the state through the first part of next week. Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s, with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
