.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday Night)
Issued at 249 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024

Well above-normal temps wl remain the main talking point for the
short term fcst, as we are set for another day of temps in the 90s
at most locations around the region. Some locations, particularly
around the Little Rock metro area could see new daily record high
temps set this aftn, w/ temps in the mid 90s possible. Based on
persistence and pre-frntl condns, have gone a few degrees above
blended base guidance for highs around the state this aftn.

Thru the day today, a frnt wl be moving thru the Cntrl Plains, and
wl be nearing N/Wrn AR near 00Z this evng. Thru the night and into
Mon mrng, the frnt should move thru the FA, w/ Nrly winds ushering
in much drier and cooler air. Rain remains unlkly, w/ no precip
expected whatsoever. This frnt should set temp trends back to
near-normal values heading into the new work week and the long
term fcst PD.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 249 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024

Cooler, but near normal temperatures will be seen for the early part
of the week. Sfc ridging to the north will eventually drift farther
to the east while H500 ridging across the SW US will slowly expand
northeastward.

This pattern will provide an extended period of no rainfall across
the state and temperatures will gradually increase with time. Making
things worse will be the dry air in place at the sfc for much of
next week. With the sfc high to the N/NE of the state, flow will
remain out of the east for much of the period and dewpoints will
remain generally below 50 F through the period. With the dry air in
place, will see fairly substantial diurnal temperature range each
day (30 degrees or more).

Needless to say, this combination of factors will only worsen
ongoing drought conditions and wildfire danger across the state.
Winds will remain fairly tame, but many areas will see min RH values
dip below 30 percent each day through next weekend.
