913 FXUS64 KLZK 051123 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 523 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 256 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 -Moderating temperature trend, with dry and settled weather will continue through the remainder of the week. -Some rain chances return to the forecast by Friday. -Another round of freezing conditions appears possible for much of the state early next week (Monday and Tuesday mornings). && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 256 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 No significant changes to note to the fcst this mrng, as dry, settled, and seasonably warm condns wl prevail thru the end of the week. A trailing cdfrnt is set to approach the FA later this aftn as Great Lakes cyclonic flow departs Ewrd, and Great Plains high pressure moves Swrd. This frnt should quickly wash out over Nrn AR w/ Srly winds and WAA resuming again on Thurs. By Fri, amplifying H500 troughing over the Cntrl US wl drive another sfc cyclone acrs the Upper Midwest, w/ a trailing cdfrnt sweeping thru the Srn Cntrl US. Some lower Chc PoPs wl accompany this frnt, mainly acrs Ern AR Fri aftn to evng. Thru the weekend and the end of the PD, trends in deterministic and blended base-fcst guidance remain indicative of a strong surge of Canadian continental high pressure, and asctd sfc cdfrnt thru the Sun-Mon timeframe. Ensemble-mean and probabilistic guidance is also supportive of anomalous H850 and sfc temps w/ this feature. For now, the current fcst favors another bout of widespread frost to freezing condns for most of the FA on Mon and Tues mrngs, though, the impacts of a potential freeze would pertain more to Cntrl to Srn AR, e.g., where a widespread freeze has not been observed yet. Some uncertainties still remain however, given a larger spread in 10-90%ile fcst MinT`s, and timing/magnitude of the aforementioned cdfrnt. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 521 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 VFR condns are fcst to prevail thru the new TAF PD. A weak frnt wl move into Nrn AR later this aftn, w/ a Nrly wdshft noted at Nrn terminals. Otherwise, W-SWrly winds wl persist at Cntrl and Srn terminals, w/ no other sig wx expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
