Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1218 PM CDT Fri May 30 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 302 AM CDT Fri May 30 2025 A cold front is pushing SE through the state early this Fri morning...with some isolated/scattered convection noted along/ahead of this front as it moves SE. Chances for a few SHRA and isolated TSRA will remain along/ahead of this SFC cold front this morning before the front drops SE of the state by this Fri afternoon. Drier...more stable air will filter into the state behind this front...with a mostly sunny sky and fairly tranquil conditions expected the rest of this Fri as SFC high pressure settles across the region into tonight. The quiet and drier conditions will continue into Sat as the SFC high moves across the region. Highs today will be in the low 70s to low 80s...warming slightly on Sat to the mid 70s to mid 80s. Dewpts will be mainly in the 50s both days...resulting in those pleasant...low humidity conditions. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s. The quieter conditions will be interrupted by a quick moving upper wave that will pass south over WRN sections of the state Sat night into Sun morning. This wave will bring some increased POPs for some isolated/widely scattered SHRA/TSRA. Best POPs will be across WRN sections...but some spotty convection could still occur further east. Given the timing of the upper wave passing through Sat night into early Sun...the overall threat for seeing organized strong/SVR Wx looks low at this time. Dry conditions will return once again for the latter half of Sun...and into early next week. While NRLY flow aloft will be seen in the wake of the departing fast moving upper wave...SFC flow will transition back to a SRLY direction late Sun. While precip chances will be low...dewpts will be on the rise starting Sun afternoon. Warmer and more humid conditions will be seen for early next week as an upper ridge builds across the region...and weak SRLY SFC flow increases. This will bring return of more summer-like conditions to the Natural State for the early to middle part of next week. Temps will warm into the 80s to low 90s for highs...with dewpts rising back into the upper 60s to mid 70s. These will combine to result in heat index vales in the 90s for many locations...possibly approaching 100 in a few spots. By late Tue and Wed...the upper ridge will start sliding east...with flow aloft transitioning back to the SW over the region. This will bring a return to the more active pattern for late in the forecast. A new cold front will approach from the NW on Wed...with chances for convection returning to the forecast. With the flow aloft becoming nearly parallel to the SFC front...the SWD progression of the front will slow or stall over some portion of the region. Multiple upper waves look to pass over this front...with chances for heavy rainfall increasing Wed and Thu of next week. While this setup typically results in areas of heavy rainfall...there are uncertainties this far out in time on where this front will slow or stall. Will need to monitor this situation in the coming days to pinpoint where the heaviest rainfall may fall as a result. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1216 PM CDT Fri May 30 2025 Isolated -SHRA across southeast sections of the forecast area will clear by 1930z. VFR conditions will prevail for the rest of the valid TAF period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
