285 FXUS64 KLZK 071756 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR Issued by National Weather Service Birmingham AL 1256 PM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday) Issued at 1232 PM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025 Much, much quieter weather is expected across the area for this short-term forecast, as strong cold air advection continues to work into the region. By tonight, lows will drop into the mid-30s north, to the low-40s south, with slightly below seasonable temperatures expected for the next 36 hours. In fact, a Frost Advisory is in effect for our northern counties, as a few locations are expected to drop below freezing tonight. Thankfully, temperatures should rebound into tomorrow night, with lows only expected to get down into the mid-40s. /44/ && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday Night through next Monday) Issued at 1232 PM CDT Mon Apr 7 2025 In another sight for sore eyes, the long-term appears mostly uneventful as well. Temperatures will take a slow warming trend the first few days of the forecast period, rebounding into the mid-70s by Thursday, before another cold front moves through the area. Thankfully, the airmass overhead is already worked over from a moisture standpoint, so rainfall amounts with this new front should generally be less than a tenth of an inch. Severe weather also doesn`t look likely with this cold front, as the trough shape and timing won`t support it. Temperatures will fall back into the 60s behind the front, before slowly rebounding through the weekend. By Sunday, highs will likely be back into the upper-70s and low-80s, with no additional rain chances expected through then. /44/ && .AVIATION...
