666 FXUS64 KLZK 020622 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1222 AM CST Tue Dec 2 2025 ...New KEY MESSAGES, DISCUSSION... .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 1113 PM CST Mon Dec 1 2025 Primarily IFR/LIFR cigs will persist through the morning hours before conditions rapidly improve to VFR from west to east. Winds will be light, at less than 7 kts with some variation in direction across the state. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
