005 FXUS64 KLZK 012338 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 638 PM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 200 AM CDT Mon Sep 1 2025 Mainly mid to high level moisture prevails across the region early this morning as a weak frontal boundary approaches. The boundary will ride the NW flow currently in place as the highly amplified pattern of late continues. Guidance remains in good agreement that synoptic scale ridging will remain over the western CONUS with subsequent downstream troughing over the eastern half of the county through Saturday although the pattern does dampen out somewhat with time. Only light showers are seen on local radars over NW Arkansas this morning and are associated with the aforementioned boundary. Even as the boundary moves into central Arkansas today, precipitation will be scarce with only slight chance/chance POPS justified with most of the CWA remaining dry. Precipitation chances will be slightly higher tonight into Tuesday as the front pushes through with rain amounts averaging under a tenth of an inch. Only slightly cooler air will follow the boundary with highs Monday/Tuesday ranging from the upper 70s over the north to near 90 over the south. After a dry Wednesday, the next front, also caught up in the NW flow, will move through Wednesday night and Thursday and followed quickly by surface high pressure. This front has even less moisture to work with than its predecessor and will be largely unnoticed with little if any precipitation and only slightly cooler temps across the north. One final front will make its way through in the state Friday and Friday night but you guessed it, precipitation chances will be minimal with this boundary as well. Overall, temperatures look to average pretty close to seasonal averages for the first week of September. && .AVIATION...
