137 FXUS64 KLZK 231121 AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 521 AM CST Sun Feb 23 2025 ...New AVIATION... .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. && .AVIATION...
