895 FXUS64 KLZK 102337 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 637 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 245 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Latest objective surface analysis indicates MUCAPE values over 2000 j/kg across the forecast area, with values over 4000 centered along the river valley. Despite the energy to support convection, forcing for initiation is very weak and small scale in nature. Only isolated cells were noted as of 19z. Any additional cells that do form will dissipate by 01z. Similar conditions are expected to develop on Friday, with eastern sections favored for single cell development. On Sunday, a weak cold front will approach the forecast area from the north. This feature is not expected to reach far into the forecast area, However, the feature will be close enough to provide adequate forcing to support convective development, especially across northern sections. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through next Thursday) Issued at 245 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Expect an upper level high to expand from the southern plains, through the mid south to the mid Atlantic region during this period. Very warm conditions are expected during this period. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 634 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 For the 00Z TAFs...VFR conditions are generally expected at all area TAF sites over the next 24 hours. Thunderstorms driven primarily by the peak heating hours of the day may approach TAF sites tomorrow afternoon, however the probability is too low to include a change group at this time. Otherwise expect winds to veer a bit towards the southwest tomorrow while generally remaining below 10 kts. Cavanaugh && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
