.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1245 AM CST Wed Jan 14 2026

The greater Arkansas fcst remains characterized by bouts of
cooler than normal to mostly normal temps, w/ some minimal rain
chances acrs Nrn to Ern AR thru parts of Wed, and dry weather
thereafter.

Latest sfc analyses and sfc obs indicated an aprchg cdfrnt was
moving thru Srn MO and into Nrn AR. Area radar imgry showed light
precip invof the frnt, though w/ sfc dewpoint depressions over Nrn
AR in excess of 20F, significant moistening wl be needed before any
precip reaches the ground thru the overnight PD. Cold advection
should aid in the process, w/ some very minimal QPF possible over
Nrn to NErn AR thru the day Wed.

As the frnt moves acrs the state today, gusty NWrly winds wl
prevail, w/ sustained winds near 15-20 mph, and gusts of 25-35 mph
at times. Critically dry area 10 hour fuel moisture levels and
strong winds wl promote another day of wildfire danger concerns, so
any public burning should be postponed.

Thru the next 5-7 days, deterministic and ensemble guidance remains
steadfast on mean H500 troughing staying rooted over the Upper
Midwest and Great Lakes. W/ a strong meridional component of the
polar jet staying positioned over the Cntrl US, a few intrusions of
Canadian Continental air are expected, w/ the next round of
cold...and extremely dry...air surging Swrd during the Sat-Sun
timeframe.

Thru most of the PD, high temps wl top out in the 40s at most
locations w/ nightly freezing condns expected. Thurs mrng wl host
the first cold mrng w/ area lows in the 20s, and upper teens over
Nrn AR accompanied by wind chills in the low teens. In the wake of
the second cdfrnt, Sun mrng wl feature lows in the low teens acrs
Nrn AR, and low 20s elsewhere, w/ wind chills falling to single
digits over Nrn AR. Morning lows should moderate upwards thereafter,
but wl still stay below normal thru the end of the PD.
