237 FXUS64 KLZK 072326 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 626 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025 19z subjective surface analysis indicates a convectively enhanced boundary located in the vicinity of interstate 40. Current radar observations indicate a few light returns western and central Arkansas. Latest CAM guidance continues to suggest that the boundary will initiate convection during the late afternoon and early evening. Activity is expected to grow upscale somewhat while the focus for initiation moves southward Forecasts will continue to reflect this scenario. The boundary will again be a focus for scattered activity during the day on Sunday. Sunday night, models continue to indicate that a large MCS will form over the southern high plains, then will move southeastward towards the forecast area. Forecasts will reflect this possibility, with southwest sections of the state having the greatest chance for thunderstorms and associated hazards. && .LONG TERM... (Monday Night through next Saturday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025 Somewhat late spring sensible weather elements will persist during this period. The previously mentioned boundary will be in the vicinity of the mid south during this time period. A slow moving cutoff upper low will approach during this period. These features will promote several periods of convection during this time frame. && .AVIATION...
