136 FXUS64 KLZK 091040 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 540 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 219 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 Widespread showers continue to rotate mainly north of the center of the remnants of Beryl early this Tue morning...which is centered near TXK as of 2 AM hr. Mainly pockets of heavy rain will continue north and NE of the low pressure center through this morning...with more stratiform widespread lower intensity rainfall to the NW of the center. Rainfall amounts so far have been maximized along the I- 30/US-67 corridor...or nearby...with 2 to possibly over 5 inches noted so far. Most of the additional heavy rain will be along this US-67 corridor...generally from central AR to the NE as the center of Beryl lifts NE of the state by this afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts will be mainly 1 to 3 inches...with locally higher amounts possible. Will continue the Flood Watch for central to NRN AR...but likely remove some SWRN counties by this forecast issuance. There will remain at least some small threat for brief tornadoes this morning as the circulation lifts NE...with that threat likely decreasing by late morning into the afternoon hrs. By this afternoon...chances for precip will decrease dramatically as the center of Beryl lifts NE of AR. However...some small chances for precip will remain as energy wraps around the back side of the low center. This activity will be more of the isolated to widely scattered nature. Expect rain chances to decrease for most areas by late this afternoon and especially by tonight. Beyond the influence of Beryl...the rest of the forecast looks much more tranquil starting Wed...though heat will gradually return by late this week into the weekend. Some diurnally driven convection may be seen for some afternoons...but organized convection looks unlikely at this time. The upper level ridge looks to expand over the region by late in the forecast...which may lead to some return to heat headlines by late this weekend into early next week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 537 AM CDT Tue Jul 9 2024 The center of the remnants of Beryl continue to rotate over SWRN portions of the area this Tue morning...with some breezy conditions ongoing...as well as isolated/scattered SHRA to the south/east of this system. Further north...more widespread rainfall is ongoing. MVFR or briefly lower conditions were noted...especially with the more intense activity. This system will lift NE out of the state by later this afternoon...with gradually improving condtions throughout the day. Expect dominant VFR conditions by this evening...though some patchy fog may develop tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
