271 FXUS64 KLZK 070529 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1229 AM CDT Wed May 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 916 PM CDT Tue May 6 2025 Flood watch is no longer in effect. Excessive rainfall is not expected during the overnight hours. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 215 PM CDT Tue May 6 2025 To begin the period, a low pressure system continues to move into the area bringing with it the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Additionally, an unsettled weather pattern is expected through much of the period with on and off rainfall chances across the state. As mentioned above, a system has tracked into the state bringing the chance for showers and thunderstorms. The main takeaway from this forecast package compared to previous ones is the model trends towards lesser amounts of QPF across portions of Arkansas. It now appears the heaviest of the rain could remain south of the state into Louisiana. Regardless, one to two inches of QPF will still be possible for southern locations with lesser amounts as you move north. Severe weather chances appear low at this time although some gusty winds and small hail cannot be ruled out. The main concern continues to be the threat for isolated flash flooding across southern locations. Temperatures are expected to average through the period with high temperatures in the mid 60 to upper 70s. Overnight low temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 40s to lower 60s. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 AM CDT Wed May 7 2025 MVFR ceilings will prevail during the forecast period. Best chance for TSRA will be across the northern third of the forecast area between 20z and 02z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
