NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 31, 11:23 PM CST, 37 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1223 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 252 PM CDT Fri May 31 2024 Unsettled weather has returned to the Natural State over the past 24 hours. Several rounds of rain/embedded thunder have contd to affect the FA today. Along with the clouds and rainfall, a stationary fntl bndry was situated along the Highway 67/167 and I-30 corridor. This has resulted in quite the range of temps at mid aftn, with 70s and lower 80s common, with 60s noted over NW AR. One upper impulse is currently in the process of departing north AR, with lingering showers noted. A more potent upper system (MCV) was located ovr SW AR. Where cloud cover has thinned out, daytime heating is allowing sctd convection to form. A few of these storms could pulse up and possibly bring some gusty winds, we are not looking for organized severe storms into this evening. Once this aforementioned MCV moves out of the FA later tngt, PoPs wl be diminishing fm the west heading into early Sat. Expect patchy fog and low clouds to return late tngt into early Sat. Conds wl improve thereafter as W/NW winds return and allow the clouds to start eroding. THis wl be short-lived as another weather maker brings rain chcs back to the state on Sun. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday Night through next Friday) Issued at 252 PM CDT Fri May 31 2024 More of the same as we enter the work week with additional shortwaves expected to move through the midsouth providing continued chances of shower and thunderstorm activity. With MCS season upon us, will need to monitor overnight activity Sunday night and possibly Monday night. Relief, for at least part of the state, is possible by mid week where long term models are indicating a strong Upper Ridge to build over the SW Conus. Modified the grids to better reflect this pattern with higher POPs across the NE half of the forecast area. Temperatures will generally be at or above seasonal normals during the day, and slightly milder than average at night due to the increased cloud cover and RH through the majority of the overnight periods. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1222 AM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024 Expect shower and thunderstorm activity to be impacting the northern, central, and southeastern sites of KHRO, KBPK, KLIT, KPBF, and KLLQ before moving out of the state on Saturday morning. Lowered CIGS will impact all terminals to as low as IFR flight category at times before VFR conditions will prevail from west to east during the day on Saturday. VSBY will be reduced across many sites to as low as IFR flight category at times between patchy fog and pockets of heavy rain/storm activity until Saturday morning after sunrise. A return to overall VFR flight conditions will occur around midday on Saturday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
