928 FXUS64 KLZK 290546 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1246 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to progress eastward across the state through this evening. Will see a downward trend after sunset, but as a weak disturbance moves through the mean flow, activity could persist a little longer than usual. Similar setup expected across the area on Sunday with the greatest focus for precip across NE/E Arkansas. With abundant moisture in place, another afternoon of isolated to scattered thunderstorms is expected with a low overall severe threat, but slightly better chances of storms producing locally heavy rainfall. By Monday, things begin to change across the state and much of the country. The H500 ridge that has been in place across the southern US will retreat SW while expanding north across the western US. This will be in response to a quick moving mid-level trough expected to move from the Northern Plains toward the Great Lakes Mon-Tue. At the sfc, a cold front will progress toward the state from the NW. This front is expected to make it into the state before stalling. While this could lead to a brief period of cooler temperatures by for the first half of the week, it will be brief and it will not affect all of the state. As the front stalls it will also remain the focus for chances of showers/storms while over the area. At this time, northern AR looks to be favored for the most widespread precip. While it doesn`t look entirely dry near the end of the period, it does appear that the H500 ridge will attempt to redevelop over the state leading to another period of hot temperatures. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1238 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Mix of MVFR/VFR VIS`bys are possible overnight across Nrn terminals through 12/14z due to patchy FG. Elsewhere, VFR conds should prevail. Scattered SHRA/TSRA are possible again on Sun across Nrn sites; it is in these locations with the highest PoP chances. Chances for precip across Srn terminals is much lower thus mentioned accordingly in the TAFs. Cntrl terminals may have afternoon/evening convection on Sun. Winds should be light and variable both overnight and on Sun at around 5-10 kts. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
