425 FXUS64 KLZK 060559 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1159 PM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1250 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 - A cold morning is expected across much of the state, with readings in the 20s for many areas. - Fairly calm weather conditions expected in the coming days. - Little to no precipitation in the forecast through the next 7 days. && .DISCUSSION... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 1250 AM CST Fri Dec 5 2025 Thursday`s system continues to make progress well east of the area with sfc ridging building over the area. While some clouds will continue to stream over the area, very cold air will spill south leading to lows in the 20s across much of the northern half of the state. Some localized FG/FZFG could develop through sunrise across some of the areas where clear sky conditions are seen and where precip occurred on Thursday. A slight warmup is expected across the state through Sunday before a H500 trough moves through the W/NW mid-level flow aloft. At the sfc, this will lead to a cold front moving across the state on Sunday. Limited moisture will lead to practically no chance of precipitation with the passage of this system. While it`ll be pretty cold from Sunday night through Tuesday morning, this cooldown will be pretty short-lived. Sfc ridging will shift E/SE of the area by Tuesday with low level S/SW flow bringing warmer temperatures back for the end of the period. && .AVIATION...
