.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 200 AM CST Sun Feb 23 2025

All quiet conditions are ongoing across the state early this Sun
morning...with temps mainly in the 20s and 30s. South and SW of
AR...some scattered rain is ongoing ahead of an upper shortwave to
the SW over TX. This upper shortwave will move east just south of AR
through this afternoon/early evening. Most areas will remain dry as
this shortwave passes south of AR...but far SRN sections could see
some light precip through this afternoon. Temps this morning may
start off near or just below freezing for a couple hrs to see some
potential for a rain/FZRA mix across the far south. Given the light
nature of the precip...little to no impacts are expected at this time
for the morning wintry mix.

The warming trend that started in the last couple days will continue
into the middle of this week as SRLY flow increases across the
state. Precip chances will remain low through Tue in the wake of
the departing upper shortwave...with NW flow aloft expected. Highs
today will be in the 50s for most areas...though some 40s will be
possible across SRN sections where cloud cover will be more
prevalent. Temps for Mon will warm into the 60s for highs...with
60s and 70s expected for Tue and Wed.

A new cold front will move SE through the state on Wed/Wed
night...with some increased chances for convection expected for
portions of the state. However...widespread significant rainfall is
looking less likely...with just some scattered SHRA expected.

Behind the front on Thu...temps will cool off slightly with a more
NRLY flow...but remain near or above normal in the 60s for highs.
SRLY flow will return by late in the forecast...with temps
rebounding once again in the 60s and 70s. A mainly dry forecast is
expected to wrap up the forecast.
