(This evening through Tuesday) Issued at 100 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 Latest data from local radars indicate widely scattered (~20 percent coverage) across the eastern half of the forecast area, moving eastward. This activity has formed in an area of very weakly sheared, weakly forced, moderately unstable atmosphere. This activity is expected to decrease with the loss of solar heating. Slightly more widespread activity is expected for Monday and Tuesday afternoon and evening, with highest concentration of precipitation expected across northern sections of the forecast area. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday Night through next Sunday) Issued at 100 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 A weak northwest flow pattern will be in place across the mid south during at the start of this forecast period, then will flatten as upper level heights increase. During the second half of the forecast period, a overall decrease in diurnally enhanced convection is expected, along with a slight warming trend. Would expect heat headlines during the second half of the forecast period. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 A complex of showers and thunderstorms currently entering northwest Arkansas will slowly move east across portions of northwest Arkansas over the next couple of hours, but likely dissipate as latest satellite analysis shows warming cloud tops within the complex. Light and variable to calm conditions will prevail at all TAF sites through the early morning hours. After sunrise, light S/SW winds will prevail at all TAF sites through sunset, then become light and variable. Hi-res CAMs shows scattered shower and isolated thunderstorms that will mainly impact northern terminals on Monday afternoon as a disturbance treks across the state. The impacts to aviation will be minimal with brief periods of MVFR/IFR ceilings, strong gusty winds for short durations. Otherwise, VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
