.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1206 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025

Mainly quiet and cool conditions are ongoing across the Natural
State early this Tue morning...with most areas seeing temps drop
again into the 50s and 60s so far. A weak upper wave is passing SE
over SRN MO...with mainly some increased clouds noted...though some
diminishing precip was seen over NERN OK. Expect any remaining
activity to dissipate this morning...or remain west of AR...with
lows dropping down into the 50s for most areas. Some upper 40s will
be possible in the more sheltered valley areas.

Dry conditions and light winds will continue for Mon as flow aloft
will continue from the NW over the region. Moisture levels will
remain low...allowing afternoon temps to warm into the mid 70s to
mid 80s...or a couple deg warmer than seen on Mon afternoon.

Weak SRLY flow will return for Wed...though a new...fast moving
upper wave will drop SE over the region Wed into Wed night. Temps
will warm a few more deg for Wed as a result of the SRLY winds...but
should see a bit more cloud cover on Wed with this upper wave.
Should still see dry conditions...given no significant moisture
return ahead of the upper wave. Even so...wouldn`t be completely
surprised to see an isolated SHRA/TSRA Wed evening/night. Most areas
should remain dry though.

Flow aloft will transition from NWRLY to a more NRLY direction by
late this week as an upper ridge of high pressure expands to the
west of AR. This upper ridge looks to drift east over AR by this
weekend. Temps will warm by late this week into the weekend...with
above normal conditions expected into early next week. No major
chances for rainfall are expected however...especially with the
upper ridge overhead. The upper ridge may then shift east and weaken
by late in the forecast...with temps starting to slowly cool
starting early next week.
