Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1126 AM CST Mon Nov 4 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday Night) Issued at 247 AM CST Mon Nov 4 2024 An active forecast will be seen through the short term period...with convection expected through much of the period. This morning...sub- SVR convection continues across WRN/NWRN sections of the CWA along/south of a warm front lifting north into MO. Some of this activity has occasionally become strong at times...mainly due to some overlap in increased ML CAPE and bulk SHR. However...instability does remain limited this morning. Even so...a few strong/briefly SVR storms may still develop...with best potential across WRN sections where that ML CAPE is best. Most of this activity continues to lift north/NE over the same areas...with some areas seeing heavy rainfall. Will keep the flood watch in place for the same areas as additional convection is expected through this morning...and later in the period. Coverage of convection looks to decrease by this afternoon...but more will develop west of AR...then move east this evening and overnight as the shortwave to the west lifts NE. Additional heavy rainfall will be expected...and in areas that are already seeing heavy rainfall this morning. The Flood Watch will remain into at least Tue morning as a result for current placement. Some strong to SVR TSRA will remain possible this evening and into the overnight hrs...with the highest threat across WRN/NWRN sections of the state. This will again be the area of best overlap of instability and SHR. As the expected line of convection moves east...the instability will decrease with time...but a few strong storms may continue into Tue morning over central maybe even ERN sections. By late Tue afternoon into Tue night...chances for convection will be limited to ERN/SERN sections as the cold front moves SE into that region of the state. There may also be a few strong TSRA here as well...along with some locally heavy rainfall. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 247 AM CST Mon Nov 4 2024 An upper trough will extend into the Four Corners Region Wednesday with an upper ridge over the southeast U.S. By late Friday, the trough ejects out of the Desert Southwest into the Plains. This upper low starts to move east Friday and into the Plains Saturday. The closed upper low will move through the Plains Saturday, and the Midwest Sunday. High pressure will be over Arkansas Wednesday with a cold front just east of the state and another one in the Plains. The front to the east will stall and keep a chance of showers and thunderstorms over the southeast Wednesday and Wednesday night. This front will eventually move north into the state Saturday as a warm front. The front in the Plains does not reach the state until late Saturday and Sunday. As a result, rain chances will continue over much of the area through the long term period. Rainfall amounts will be light for the last part of the week and weekend. Above normal temperatures continue through the long term period. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1124 AM CST Mon Nov 4 2024 Have utilized latest CAM guidance to reflect timing of the next round of convection to affect TAF sites. MVFR ceilings will prevail during this period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
