929 FXUS64 KLZK 041100 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 600 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 116 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025 Skies were partly cloudy to mostly clear this morning with temps holding in the 60s and 70s. By dawn, most places should fall into the 60s, however an isolated valley location or locations could reach upper 50s. Sky conditions today should become mostly sunny. Not many changes are anticipated over the next several days to a week. Aloft, an upper ridge will remain over portions of the Four Corners, potentially wobbling as far E as the Srn Rockies. Locally, some meridional component of NW flow will be in place through the upcoming weekend. At the surface, winds should stay E/NE through Tuesday as high pressure remains to the N and E of AR. A new surface low is progged to develop over the plains by Wednesday, this will switch winds back around the S/SW across the region. No significant upper level impulses are expected to move through the flow over the next seven days thus organized rain chances appear minimal. With limited PoP chances expected, soil moisture will decline over the week. Temperatures, both lows/highs, will slowly moderate through the week. Today, high temps should top out in the lower 80s to around 90 degrees and by the weekend highs should top out in the lower to middle 90s. Lows by the weekend should largely be in the 70s. For August 4th, here are some of the daily average lows/highs at the following locations, Harrison 68/90, Little Rock 71/93, Pine Bluff 72/92, and Monticello 73/93, respectively. Basically over the next couple of days, temperatures should be slightly below to near climatological average. Afterwards, temperatures will moderate back to and above average for this time of year. Still, not bad when compared to the last several weeks of observed T`s/apparent T`s. No heat headlines are expected during the forecast period at this time. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 558 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025 Mix of high and mid clouds will be noted this morning, giving way to mainly scattered mid clouds this afternoon. VFR conds are expected to prevail through the TAF period. Winds today should be N/NErly at around 10 kts with occasional higher gusts. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
