.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1205 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025

Some lingering isolated/widely scattered SHRA are ongoing
along/behind the cold front that pushed through the area the past
day or so...with precip limited to far SRN/SWRN sections of the
state. This activity has been triggered from weak upper level energy
passing over this region of the state. Most other locations across
the state remain dry as drier air continues to slowly filter south/SW
this evening. Dewpts have dropped into the 60s for much of NRN and
portions of central AR...while dewpts remain in the 70s across
SRN/SWRN sections.

While this drier air will continue to settle across the state for
Sat into Sun...there will still be some lingering POPs for SRN/SWRN
sections this Sat for some isolated/widely scattered convection.
Otherwise...mostly dry conditions are expected this weekend. The
cooler and more comfortable conditions will be seen for most areas
through the weekend. Below normal temps and drier air will be
common. Highs will be in the 80s...with lows Sat morning in the
upper 50s to mid 60s across NRN AR...and in the upper 60s to low 70s
further south. By Sun morning...lows for most areas will be in the
upper 50s to mid 60s. Won`t be surprised that some sheltered
locations see lows dip into the mid 50s in the valleys of the Ozarks
of NRN AR.

Expect mainly near or below normal highs to persist into early to
middle of next week as the ridge of high pressure remains west of
the region...and AR under an upper level weak trough. This trough
may trigger some precip Mon into Wed during the afternoon hrs each
day...but confidence and coverage should be at a minimum. Temps will
gradually warm back to around or even just above normal by late next
week as the upper ridge to the west attempts to expand back into the
region. However...the bulk of the upper ridge looks to remain west
of AR even by late next week.
