257 FXUS64 KLZK 030509 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1109 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1147 PM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 - Dry and cool conditions expected Tuesday. - Brief warmup for Wednesday, otherwise below normal temperatures to persist through much of the next 7 days. - Another round of precipitation possible Thu-Fri, some winter weather possible. && .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. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1107 PM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 Low clouds persist across eastern portions of the state and are providing MVFR conditions. Elsewhere, clear skies will persist and there could be some FG development through daybreak. VFR conditions are expected by 03/18z. Winds will remain light through the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
