.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 141 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025

Hot and humid condns were noted acrs the FA Thurs aftn w/ recent
radar mosaic imgry indicating isolated precip activity along the
lower MS River Valley region. Expect additional convective
development acrs Ern Cntrl to SErn AR thru the remainder of the
evng, w/ a few strong storms capable of gusty winds.

The persistence fcst wl win out thru the end of the week, w/ daily
hazardous heat expected to persist into Fri and Sat aftn. The
main source of daily relief wl be dependent on the density of
diurnal Cu, and any isolated to scattered storms that develop
around the FA.

By early next week, expect higher magnitude and covg of precip
chances over much of the FA as a pronounced H500 shortwave trof
pivots Swrd into the Midwest/Great Lakes region, and a trailing,
but weak synoptic cdfrnt extends thru the Cntrl Plains. The frnt
is expected to stall out over the Ozark Plateau region on Mon,
and serve as a focal point for additional rainfall chcs Tues and
Wed, though significant variability is still evident b/w the
last few runs of deterministic GFS/ECMWF solns.

Along w/ incrsg rain chances Mon night and thru the remainder of the
PD, cooler temperatures (relatively speaking) and heat index values
below 100 degrees may be seen as well, and after a few weeks of
typical Arkansas summer, better rain chances and cooler temps are
certainly worth monitoring.

Generally, daily rain chances thru the end of the week wl be
confined to diurnal activity in the aftn to evng, w/ isolated storms
capable of gusty winds and heavy rainfall. The severe weather threat
wl stay low and conditional, w/ an occasional strong storm possible.

winds the main threats for any storms that do impact terminals.
Otherwise, diurnal Cu and SWrly winds wl be the main notes on
Thurs w/ no other sig wx expected thru the PD.
