.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1147 PM CST Mon Dec 1 2025

The H500 trough continues to progress east of the area with precip
exiting to the east of the state as well. Lingering cloud cover
will limit additional cooling through the rest of the overnight
hours. Some slick roadways will be possible in the wake of
Monday`s light winter weather event.

Sfc ridging in place across the state Tuesday will shift east of
the area on Wednesday which will provide southerly winds and a
brief increase in temperatures. Temperatures will be warmest
across the western half of the state. The flow aloft will largely
be zonal across the southern US with a weak system in place across
the SW US and a strong cyclone north of the Great Lakes.

A cold front will move across the state Wednesday night into
Thursday morning. This will provide colder temperatures for
Thursday across the state. As the weak H500 SW US disturbance
tracks across the state and a corresponding sfc low tracks along
the Gulf coast, precip will develop. Better chances for precip
will remain south of the state, but with the cold air in place
locally, some winter weather is possible across Arkansas.

Dry conditions and below normal temperatures are expected for the
upcoming weekend.
