486 FXUS64 KLZK 111034 AAA AFDLZK Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 534 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 155 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025 Mainly quiet conditions are ongoing across the Natural State early this Mon morning...with a mostly clear sky and temps in the upper 60s to upper 70s noted for most areas. Regional radar imagery shows some scattered convection over SWRN MO into NERN OK and SERN KS...which was generally drifting EWD over time. However...an outflow over SWRN MO was dropping SE into NWRN AR early this morning...which may trigger some new convection behind this outflow. As a result...have mentioned POPS across NWRN/NRN sections this morning. For the rest of this Mon...will see some continued potential for convection into the afternoon hrs...depending on where this morning outflow will end up. This remnant outflow will be the where the area of best potential for convection will exist this afternoon...but do think that some isolated afternoon convection will also be possible pretty much anywhere else as well. As a result...have low end POPs mentioned for most areas this afternoon...with a bit higher POPs further NW where the outflow may remain. An upper trough will move east over the the NRN CONUS through the middle of the week...with AR remaining on the SRN periphery of this trough. The main upper ridging will remain across the WRN CONUS...keeping the extensive oppressive heat at bay for now. The chances for isolated to scattered afternoon pulse convection will increase with the lowered heights aloft into the middle of the week...with best chances around Wed. These chances for convection will slowly decrease by late this week into the weekend as ridging attempts to re-establish itself across portions of the region. However...this ridging trend is a bit uncertain with differing med- range model guidance. As a result...keep at least some mention of afternoon convection each day into the weekend. Temps through the period will slowly fall into the middle of the week...though remaining around normal for highs each day. The lowering temps over time will primarily be due to the increased coverage of afternoon convection. By later in the week...expect highs to warm slowly as the potential for convection decreases with the influence of upper ridging increasing. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 531 AM CDT Mon Aug 11 2025 Expect dominant VFR conditions to persist through this TAF period. Some isolated convection will be possible this afternoon...but coverage too limited and location too uncertain to mentioned for most terminals at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
