Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 237 AM CDT Tue Aug 2 2022 .SHORT TERM...Today Through Wednesday Night Upper level ridging is positioned across the Southwestern region of the CONUS w/ northwesterly flow aloft over Arkansas. An upper level shortwave pulse will be meandering through the upper level pattern during the day on Tuesday; this feature in conjunction with a high pressure center at the surface off the Alabama/Mississippi Gulf Coast will usher in moisture via the Gulf of Mexico and provide some isolated rain and thunderstorm chances across the central and southern portions of the CWA. Heat headlines return for Tuesday as much of northeastern Arkansas, southeastern Arkansas, the River Valley region, and the Little Rock metro area will meet Heat Advisory criteria with Heat Index values of 105 to 109 degrees common during Tuesday afternoon/Tuesday evening. On Wednesday, the upper level ridge across the Southwestern region of the CONUS begins to elongate encompassing a greater area in which the eastern periphery of the ridge will be placed just to the west of the CWA across Oklahoma and Texas. The surface high pressure that was located of the coast of Alabama/Mississippi moves southeastward nearing the western coast of Florida; this result, greatly removes its influence with providing the state with ample low level moisture, thus we will see lower opportunities for isolated rain and storms across the CWA. A slim chance of far southeastern Arkansas experiencing an isolated shower or thunderstorm is not completely out of the question, but nothing to write home about. Heat headlines will continue to likely be needed again on Wednesday as much of northeastern Arkansas, southeastern Arkansas, the River Valley region, and the Little Rock metro area will meet Heat Advisory criteria with Heat Index values of 105 to 109 degrees common during Wednesday afternoon/Wednesday evening. At the end of the short-term forecast period, a weak cold front will be approaching the CWA from the northwest, thus Wednesday night will see elevated rain chances across far northern Arkansas. && .LONG TERM...Thursday Through Tuesday No wholesale changes will be forthcoming this morning as medium range models have not changed appreciably over the past day or so. Pattern will be dominated by a transient upper level ridge that will keep temperatures seasonably hot but not nearly to the extent that the region experienced for the last half of July. Period initiates with upper ridge centered over the TX/OK panhandles with a boundary of some sort located in the upper midwest to the Ohio River Valley. Scattered convection is possible early in the period until said boundary lifts out and upper ridge expands. Ridge will be expanding to the west with a second upper ridge over the western Atlantic retrograding to near the east coast by early next week leaving the area in broad troffiness. This pattern will continue to pull in gulf moisture through the period with PWATS well above 1.5 inches. The best chances of precipitation past early Thurs will be diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms. Severe weather chances appears low but with light winds aloft, storms that do develop could be proficient rain makers. Temperatures will top out in the 90s for the most part during the day with overnight lows generally in the 70s. Humidity levels will remain high enough that some heat headlines may be needed at some point but likely evaluated on a day to day basis. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
