.Prev Discussion.../ Issued 255 PM CDT Mon Aug 21 2017/

.SHORT TERM...Tonight Through Wednesday
Isolated convective cells are noted by the latest KLZK radar data.
This activity should diminish shortly after sunset.

Mid level heights are expected to amplify across the Rockies
during this period, allowing for a northwesterly flow to develop
over the mid south. This flow pattern will promote a cold front to
move southward, reaching northern portions of the state by late
Tuesday. Will need to monitor for excessive rainfall potential,
given relatively moist antecedent conditions, as well as
forecast conditions favoring cell training.

&&

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Monday
Scattered showers/storms wl be noted across the S half of AR Wed
night as the aforementioned CDFNT pushes further into LA. Starting
Thu, high pressure ridge will build into from the N, with drier and
cooler airmass filtering into the region. Still looking at below
normal temps for a few days, with lows in the 50s and 60s and highs
mainly in the 80s.

As the surface high weakens, the lingering front to our S will begin
a slow return back NWD. AS this occurs, moisture/low rain chances
are back in the fcst by the weekend and into early next week.
