.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 255 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025

Analyzing surface observations from around the state this morning
and winds were nearly calm or calm and skies were clear.
Temperatures ranged from the lower 30s to lower 40s. Given these
readings already in the lower to middle 30s, a good coverage of
frost is anticipated by daybreak. Winds will switch around to the
SW today ranging from 5-15 mph. Skies will remain clear thanks to
subsidence in place over the region. These two components will
promote temperatures climbing into the upper 60s to lower 70s.

Beyond Monday, an upper ridge will settle in across the Gulf
coastal states with H500 flow becoming zonal over a good portion
of the CONUS. At the surface, a departing high will sustain SWrly
flow over the next several days. This will allow a warming trend
with many locations climbing back into the 70s, even approaching
80 degrees in some areas.

By late week a series of upper level shortwaves should dive SEwrd
within background perturbed flow. A weak cold front is expected to
reach the state by Friday, become stationary over Srn AR, then lift
back to the N as a warm front. A few showers are possible with this
front over E and NE AR, then points NEwrd into the Great Lakes
region. Most locations around the state should remain dry.

A secondary much strong front is forecast to move across the state
Saturday night into Sunday bringing additional rain chances to
Arkansas. Much like the last system, E and NE AR have the highest
PoP chances. Even there, PoP chances are not great. Much colder
and drier air will advect into the region on Sunday as an
expansive area of high pressure moves into the Cntrl/Nrn Plains.
