.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 236 PM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024

A weak and dissipating cold front is presently located in the
northwest part of Arkansas, and will slowly make its way across much
of the state overnight. A wind shift will be barely perceptible on
this weakening front, but dewpoints will lower notably.

Showers and thunderstorms have developed along and ahead of the
front this afternoon, at present extending from north central
Arkansas into western Arkansas in a few bands.

Another point of concern tonight will be the development of fog as
the weak cold front rolls into areas that recently received rain.
With light winds and clearing skies, patchy fog will be present over
a good portion of the area, with potential dense fog in some
areas.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 236 PM CDT Mon Apr 29 2024

Chances for showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast at
times through the period across the state. Prior indications of at
least a couple of days of dry weather and cooler temperatures appear
more unlikely attm. At the sfc, warm/humid conditions will persist
across much of the region with above normal temperatures expected
each day.

Aloft, H500 flow will largely be out of the SW ahead of a trough
swinging across the Northern/Central Plains toward the Great Lakes.
Mid-level ridging is expected to build across the SE US which will
further influence the amplified flow across the region.

From Thu-Fri as a leading shortwave lifts north across the area,
showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop. This activity
will be aided by a cold front set to move across the state. The
front will only briefly linger before retreating back to the north.

Some additional disturbances are likely to lift north in the SW flow
aloft and help to provide periodic rain chances across the state
through the end of the period.
