010 FXUS64 KLZK 021638 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1038 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 230 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 -Frost and freeze conditions are expected this morning over roughly the northwestern half of the state. -Frost is possible over the southeastern half of Arkansas on Monday morning. -Moderating temperature trend is expected early-week through late- week. -Low end rain chances are possible towards the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 230 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Skies were mostly clear early this Sunday morning and dry air advection was well underway as high pressure settles into the region. With dew point temperatures falling during the predawn hours, radiational cooling will be efficient. Temperatures are expected to bottom out in the upper 20s to lower 30s, where Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings are in place, to the mid 30s to lower 40s over E and SE AR. E and SE AR should have slightly elevated winds overnight which should help prevent frost in these locations where temps do manage to reach the mid 30s. Today, skies should be clear and temperatures are expected to climb into the mid 50s to around 60 degrees. Winds should be out of the N around 10 mph. Winds over Wrn AR may shift to the S late this evening as the high moves slightly Ewrd. Additional frost will be possible on Monday morning. The synoptic pattern would place the surface high along the MS River and points Ewrd into TN/MS with winds becoming calm under clear skies. Main areas to focus on would include E and SE AR where frost has been absent thus far. Synoptically, an upper level closed low will track Ewrd across the TN Valley today. NW flow will resume locally through Monday. At the same time an upper level ridge will slide Ewrd out of the Srn Rockies into the Srn Plains. By mid-week, the ridge will become stationary to our S invof of the Gulf coast states. Upper level flow will become zonal across much of the CONUS favoring a moderating trend in temperatures and absence of mentionable PoPs. Changes in the pattern could arrive as early as Friday as a couple progressive shortwave systems dive SEwrd from the Nrn Rockies towards the region. Temperatures this week will begin to moderate as surface high pressure slides further E and winds become SWrly. High temperatures will creep back into the 70s with lows in the 40s and 50s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1037 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 Expect all TAF sites to remain in VFR flight category for the entire duration of the forecast period from mid-day on Sunday through mid- day on Monday. A region of surface high pressure will keep surface winds shifting throughout the period. Low level wind shear is expected at the terminal of KHRO from early Monday morning through late Monday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
