519 FXUS64 KLZK 312228 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 528 PM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sun Aug 31 2025 Another quiet night across the Natural State with just a few patches of mid and high level cloudiness with light and variable winds early this morning. A few radar returns are noted over far western Arkansas with a few sprinkles not out of the question, but most locations will stay dry through sunrise. A weak shortwave embedded within northwest flow will some chance POPs to the state on today with the best chances being across western and northwestern Arkansas. By Monday, a front currently in the central Plains will dive south within northwest flow and approaches the state sometime during the morning hours. The cold front will bring chances isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly over western and northwestern Arkansas on Monday and an isolated shower or thunderstorm elsewhere within the state. By Monday afternoon/evening into Tuesday, the cold front will bring additional chances for showers and thunderstorms statewide with slightly cooler air filtering in behind the front by Tuesday night. The front will push south of the state with primarily dry conditions expected on Wednesday before the next cold front approaches the state by Wednesday night into early Thursday. The cold front will dive southeast into the state on Thursday into Friday bringing chances for showers and thunderstorms with another shot of cooler air ushering in behind the front. High temperatures across the northern two-thirds of Arkansas may struggle to get into the lower 80s with only far southern and southeastern Arkansas likely into the mid 80s on Thursday if current forecast trends hold. As we head into the next weekend, another disturbance embedded within northwest flow will dive southeast bringing chances for showers and thunderstorms mainly over parts of western Arkansas on Saturday. && .AVIATION...
