New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday Night)
Issued at 219 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2023
On Sunday, the upper lvl flow pattern remains active with an approaching maturing trof that will develop into an upper lvl low pressure center into Monday will track over locations just north of the CWA. At the sfc, a dry cold front will be exiting the state as another sfc low pressure center and attendant dry cold front will be approaching the CWA. Expect overall dry conditions during the short- term forecast period. Temperatures on Sunday will still be warmer than climatological normals for this time of the year: high temperatures across northern Arkansas will vary from the mid 50's to low 60's, then into central and southern Arkansas between the upper 50's to mid 60's.
On Monday, the upper lvl low in tandem with the sfc low pressure center that moves just north of the CWA will result in a notable increase in sfc winds and wind gusts across northern Arkansas early Monday. At the sfc, a dry cold front will traverse across the state and temperatures will be slightly above normal, but lower with the additional cold front tracking over the state and associated colder air mass being funneled in with northwest flow at the sfc and in the upper lvls as a sfc high pressure center will be positioned across central Texas. Expect clearing skies with plentiful sunshine. Temperatures overall will slightly dip compared to Sunday.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 219 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2023
The extended period will start off with a northwest wind flow aloft and a cold front pushing through Arkansas from the Plains. That will lead to cooler than average temperatures through at least Wednesday.
Moisture will be limited surrounding the front, so no rain is mentioned in the forecast.
As the period progresses, ridging will start taking place locally as a storm system begins digging over the western states. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will settle over the southeast United States, leading to a southerly flow/warm advection/increasing moisture in Arkansas. Temperatures will be well above average by Friday/Saturday.
As the period ends, the aforementioned deepening trough will be on our doorstep late Friday/Saturday. A strong cold front will surge through the region, and will trigger showers/isolated thunderstorms.
While there will be some instability/wind energy, it probably will not be enough for severe weather. Severe storms look more likely east of the state as a storm system forms along the front and intensifies as it tracks through the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys.
Cooler/more seasonal air will follow the front Saturday night.
Residual moisture may lead to a few snowflakes in northern sections of the state before precipitation ends.
AVIATION

Issued at 459 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2023
The central and southern sites across the state will see patchy dense fog this Sunday morning that will drop flight category in regards of VSBY to IFR and LIFR at times. VSBY across these sites should improve by mid-day on Sunday to VFR category. Surface wind gusts will be noted across the northern sites of KHRO and KBPK early Sunday morning through the majority of the period in excess of 24 knots. Surface wind gusts will be noted early Monday morning later in the period in excess of 22 knots at the sites of KLIT, KHOT, and KADF. Low level wind shear will also be present across the central and southern sites beginning Sunday evening.
