207 FXUS64 KLZK 292219 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 519 PM CDT Fri Aug 29 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1242 AM CDT Thu Aug 29 2025 Satellite early this morning shows widespread low stratus with bands of showers over parts of southwest Arkansas with a few isolated showers over southern Arkansas. The low stratus deck currently over most of the state should keep fog potential at bay for most of the state with the exception of northern Arkansas around Harrison and Mountain Home. Latest hi-res CAMs and deterministic guidance continues to shows the best chance for rainfall southern Arkansas with the possibility of some training over parts of southwest Arkansas through sunrise this morning. A few showers are possible mainly over parts of south Arkansas as the trough off pushes east of the state today. Northwest flow will persist through most of the forecast period. Deterministic guidances continues to show multiple embedded shortwaves pushing over the state during the upcoming work week. Guidance does point to some some subtle timing/strength differences with each shortwave only bringing chances of isolated to scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms to parts of the state through the latter part of next week. A look at longer term guidance shows synoptic scale troughing continuing to prevail over the eastern half of the CONUS through the entire forecast period. High temperatures through the end of next week will be around 5 to 9 degrees below normal for late August into early September. && .AVIATION...
