NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 28, 11:42 PM CST, 18 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1142 PM CST Mon Feb 28 2022 .AVIATION...01/06Z TAF CYCLE VFR conditions are expected through the period. Winds are expected to be out of the southwest before becoming light and variable by Tuesday evening. ..44/233.. && .PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 218 PM CST Mon Feb 28 2022) SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Wednesday No significant weather is expected in the short term period, with surface high pressure in place across the southern CONUS. Some upper level cirrus clouds are moving into the region from the west, over a short-wave ridge over TX/OK this afternoon. Expecting continued upper ridging across the Wern CONUS and NW upper flow across the Plains and south-central CONUS through the period. WSW low-level flow will return warmer air to the state over the next several days. High temperatures are topping out in the lower to mid 60s today, upper 60s to lower 70s Tues, and in the lower to mid 70s Wed afternoon. Low temperatures tonight will be in the 30s to lower 40s, in the mid 30s to mid 40s by Wed morning. Afternoon RH values are forecast btwn 20% to 30% over the next few days across much of the CWA, but with recent precipitation and lower wind speeds, fire weather concerns are not anticipated during the period. && .LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Monday Very few changes made to the long term forecast as the main forecast challenge still remains quite a few days out. Long term begins with surface high pressure located to the SE of the state resulting in southerly flow at the surface. A cold front starts just to the north of the state, however with NW flow aloft, this will slowly push the front into northern Arkansas by Friday. Little in the way of impacts will be seen from this front other then a wind shift across portions of Northern Arkansas. This front will stall and then begin lift back to the north, this time as a warm front. By the end of the week, high temperatures across southern Arkansas will approach 80 degrees. By Saturday, dry weather will come to an end as a storm system will approach from the west resulting in unsettled weather. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday and Sunday, however this far out, nailing down the finer details is a bit difficult. That said, it does appear this storm system could bring a chance for severe weather on Sunday with models showing mid 60's dewpoints and ample CAPE and shear in place. It is important to note that a widespread outbreak is not expected as the associated upper level low will remain well to the north of the state. Also, as we saw with the severe weather chances last week, any minor changes to the timing of this system could greatly limit the severe weather potential. Needless to say this forecast will continue to be monitored in the coming days. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...NONE. &&
