Issued at 255 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025 -Frost is possible over a large part of Arkansas this morning. -Moderating temperature trend is expected early through late week. -Low end rain chances return towards the weekend. && .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. && .AVIATION...
