Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 603 PM CST Thu Feb 6 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday) Issued at 242 PM CST Thu Feb 6 2025 Several sensible weather elements will fluctuate substantially during this forecast period. 19z subjective surface analysis, as well as observational data, indicate a cold front from north of Fort Smith, to near Corning, A boundary was analyzed across southern Missouri. A pronounced temperature difference was noted from northern to southern sections of the state. The boundary(s) will accelerate southward through the state this evening. High temperatures on Friday will be generally be near normal. The previously mentioned front will move north as a warm front late Friday night and on Saturday. High temperatures on Saturday will be largely dependent on the final position of the front. Model forecast solutions concerning this feature range widely. Will lean towards the cooler solutions, given recent successes of this practice. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through next Thursday) Issued at 242 PM CST Thu Feb 6 2025 A strong cold front will be making quick progress across the state at the start of the period, ushering in a period of cold temperatures and unsettled weather for next week. Sfc ridging to the north of the area will spread south behind the front and much of Arkansas will find itself dealing with colder temperatures, but nothing too unexpected for early to mid-February. Through the middle of next week there will be a series of H500 disturbances that pass through the area. At the sfc, the strong cold front will stall to south of the state and more than one area of low pressure will move along it from Tue-Thu. These features will help provide occasional precip to the state and surrounding areas. The orientation of the H500 flow being out of the SW and with cold air in place at the sfc, there is some concern for winter weather between Mon-Wed across AR. With sfc ridging focused just to the north, persistent low level easterly flow will be in place for next week. This doesn't bode well for much in the way of warming temperatures, especially with widespread cloud cover. Northern AR remains more favorable in terms of seeing winter weather as the cold air will be more sufficient. Model solutions remain wide ranging in terms of precip type for next week, but the focus remains across northern parts of the state. Given the mid-level SW flow and the nature of the shallow airmass, there is some real concern for a freezing rain event across northern Arkansas and nearby areas. Any changes in temperature profiles will drastically impact the dominant precip type and associated impacts. Elsewhere, away from the winter weather threat, several rounds of rain are expected and some locally heavy amounts may be seen. Main focus for this threat would be across the southeast half of the state. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 553 PM CST Thu Feb 6 2025 Area-wide cloud cover invof a receding stationary frnt was noted over much of the FA as of 07/00Z Thurs night. This receding frnt wl drive condns for area terminals thru much of the PD. Expect the frnt, last analyzed near Cntrl AR (along the I-40 corridor), w/ MVFR condns at Nrn terminals, and OVC, but VFR condns near and S of the frnt. Thru the overnight PD, condns are expected to deteriorate area-wide to IFR lvls, low CIGs primarily acrs Nrn AR. Along and S of the frnt, Cntrl and Srn terminals wl see CIGs fall IFR lvls, along w/ patchy FG/reduced VISBYs, particularly beyond 07/06Z tonight and thru the first half of Fri mrng. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
