.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 208 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025

THIS EVENING/SATURDAY/SUNDAY/MONDAY:

A tandem of upper lvl disturbances and sfc features will result in a
continued unsettled pattern of weather across Arkansas. In the upper
lvls through the weekend, zonal flow will reside over Arkansas with
embedded shortwaves within the overall H500 flow pattern. An
elongated area of ridging will be positioned over southern Texas and
northern Mexico through Sunday before this upper lvl feature begins
to retrograde back to the west and a closed low over south-central
Canada dives down into the Great Lakes region of the CONUS. At the
sfc, a stationary boundary will meander between northern Arkansas
and southern Missouri through Sunday. Into Sunday and Monday a cold
front will sweep into Arkansas from the northwest, but will become
stationary across the central portion of the state.

Expect a progressive period of rain and thunderstorm activity across
the CWA and state of Arkansas. Several rounds of strong to severe
thunderstorms will be likely over this period as a series of
thunderstorm complexes will move across the state. The Storm
Prediction Center has outlined a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5)
across much of the CWA and state of Arkansas for the remainder of
Friday and on each subsequent day: Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY/NEXT FRIDAY:

In the upper lvls, the combination of a ridge with a closed low
within the base of a trof will move in close proximity of the
Natural State on Thursday. At the sfc, a stationary front will move
into southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana. This sfc feature will
retreat back northward as a warm front into Thursday and Next
Friday.

Expect POPs to be highest across central and southern Arkansas on
Tuesday and Wednesday before rain and thunderstorm chances return to
the majority of the state to close out the forecast period from
Thursday into Next Friday. It remains too far in advance to bolt
down any specifics regarding the possibility of severe weather,
location, timing, and hazards; however, this will be ironed out over
the coming days.
