WEATHER SUMMARY FOR ARKANSAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
1125 AM CDT MON JUN 17 2013

A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER WESTERN
ARKANSAS AT THIS TIME CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY TO THE EAST. OVER THE
EASTERN PART OF THE STATE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE STARTING
TO DEVELOP AS WELL. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE
LIKELY STATE WIDE.

ON THE WEATHER MAP...A WEAK COLD FRONT WAS SET TO MOVE INTO ARKANSAS
FROM MISSOURI WITH SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH
THE PREVAILING WIND FLOW. ALL THESE FEATURES WORKING TOGETHER IN
COMBINATION WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS...WILL RESULT IN
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION. THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS
THE STATE...WITH UNSETTLED CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT.
SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON
WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY CONCERN. THE AREA MOST LIKELY TO SEE
STRONGER STORMS WOULD BE OVER THE SOUTHEAST.

OTHERWISE AT THE 11 AM HOUR...SKIES WERE GENERALLY CLOUDY BUT THERE
SOME BREAKS OVER THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE STATE. TEMPERATURES WERE
GENERALLY IN THE 80S BUT IT WAS VERY HUMID AS SOUTHWEST WINDS
CONTINUE TO PULL MOISTURE OFF THE GULF. CONCERNING TEMPERATURES
...HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID 80S TO AROUND 90 DEGREES. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL BE IN
THE 80S.

RAINFALL WILL AVERAGE A HALF INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF...WITH
LOCALLY OVER TWO INCHES IN ANY STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THAT GET
GOING.

LOOKING AHEAD...THE FRONT WILL WASH OUT AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.
MEANWHILE...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. TOWARD THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE RIDGE WILL BECOME DOMINANT
IN ARKANSAS...WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RAIN AND WARMER CONDITIONS.
