NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 31, 11:48 PM CST, 12 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1248 AM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022 .AVIATION... A cold front in southeast Kansas will move into northwest Arkansas this morning. This will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms to the area today. The cirrus shield of ongoing thunderstorms in Oklahoma and Kansas continues to move into north and west sections of the state. Low clouds will move into the area this morning as well with MVFR conditions. Thunderstorms will be more likely in the afternoon and evening. Expect VFR and MVFR conditions. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 655 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022) AVIATION... Other than mid/high clouds tonight and Wednesday, mainly VFR conditions are expected. There may be some low clouds/brief MVFR conditions late tonight/Wednesday morning. The will also be scattered showers/thunderstorms in northern Arkansas on Wednesday. Surface winds tonight will be southeast to southwest at 4 to 8 knots. Winds on Wednesday will be west to southwest at 6 to 12 knots. (46) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Thursday Night The upper ridge which has provided warm and dry condtions over the last several days will finally flatten out on Wednesday. This will allow for a frontal system to drop south into the plains and effect mostly North and Northwest Arkansas...initially. Kept POPs confined to this part of the state through most of the day Wednesday, along with the denser cloud cover and cooler temps. Although a stray shower is possible, Southeast Arkansas will remain partly cloudy and mild. By Thursday, the front will pick up some speed as Northwest flow kicks in. Scattered to widespread showers along with some convection will be possible. Although strong storms can exist with this setup, the majority of severe weather parameters will be low. Thursday will be the last day of the seasonably warm days for the week thanks to the frontal passage. Did go ahead and clear out the precip chances a little faster on Thursday morning for our far Northern counties as trends are alluding to in the models. LONG TERM...Friday Through Tuesday After one more day of cooler than average temperatures on Friday, sfc ridging will shift east of the area and temperatures will increase through the weekend. By early next week, portions of southern AR could climb into the mid to upper 90s for daytime highs. H500 flow aloft will remain nearly zonal through the period with ridging not far to the southwest. While much of the long term forecast is expected to remain dry, some occasional shortwave energy will traverse the flow aloft leading to some periodic showers and thunderstorms across the state. The bulk of the precipitation is expected to remain north of the state into early next week. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. && Aviation...51
