.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 105 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

Early morning satellite/radar data shows precip largely moving
out of the area with much of the state drying out. Looking across
eastern OK/western AR, a remnant MCV is in place. This feature
will continue to drift NE through the day and may help trigger
showers/storms across N/NW AR this afternoon. In the wake of
yesterday`s fairly widespread precip, some FG may be possible
through the early morning hours.

The H500 trough that has been in place the last few days will
linger over the region and continue to influence rain chances
across the state for another day or two more. Coverage will be
slightly less than the past couple of days, but still expecting a
fair amount of activity during the afternoon/evening hours before
precip diminishes after sunset. With weak shear in place and high
PW values, a few storms could produce localized strong wind gusts
and heavy downpours. Temperatures will remain in check again
today with afternoon highs only expected to make it into the 80s F
to lower 90s F.

From Tue-Wed the mid-level trough will likely be absorbed into
the zonal flow north of the area and ridging across the SE US
will expand W/NW toward the Lower MS River Valley/Southern
Plains. This will provide a decrease in rain chances and an
increase in temperatures. By late week, highs may top out in the
mid to upper 90s F across much of the state. With Td values in the
70s F, this will lead to heat index values at or above 105 in
some locations. While precip chances will decrease, diurnally
driven isolated showers/storms will remain possible through the
rest of the period

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 557 AM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025

Patchy MVFR conditions will remain across the terminals early this
morning before condtions improve to VFR. Scattered afternoon
convection is expected but not to the extent as the past few days
with the convection dissipating shortly after sunset. Winds will
continue to be light and generally variable with a slight
southerly component.
