.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 228 AM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025

In the upper lvls, the digging trof positioned over the Great Lakes
region of the CONUS extending into the Southeastern region of the
CONUS will continue to lift northeastward away from Arkansas in
closing out the weekend into the beginning of the workweek. As a
result, northwesterly flow will be present over the Natural State
through the early workweek. By the middle of the workweek, an upper
lvl ridge builds over Texas and northern Mexico and begins to slowly
expand into the Central Plains and Mid-South regions of the CONUS
including over Arkansas. In response, WAA will take place and
temperatures will gradually increase across the state to values
which are normal to a few degrees above normal for this time of the
year and this trend will begin during the middle of the workweek and
last into next weekend.

At the sfc, a center of high pressure will meander across the region
and begin by assisting and keeping these below average temperatures
by 5 to 10 degrees in place across the state through the middle of
the workweek. Into the middle of the workweek and beyond
temperatures will gradually increase as mentioned above. A lack of
frontal boundaries will be noted as an upper lvl omega block will
assist in keeping sfc high pressure in the region solidified across
the region. Simply put, rain chances appear to be non-existant
through next weekend at least. This forecast package is absent of
rain chances as dry and fair conditions look to persist through next
weekend.
