.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 224 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025
No major changes to the current forecast as models are generally
in good agreement. After a fairly rainy Tuesday around the Natural
State, rain coverage looks to be quite a bit less across the
state on Wednesday...with the best chances forecast to be across
the south. Do think the NBM is somewhat overdoing the PoPs and do
prefer more of the HRRR solution for the day. A few isolated
showers and thunderstorms can not be ruled out.
Across the CONUS, aloft a ridge of high pressure will be centered
across the SW with a Trough located just to the north of
Arkansas. This trough is what is going to suppress thunderstorms
development on Wednesday.
As we head into the weekend, a cold front will approach the state
from the NW and bring an increase of rain chances to the
state...especially across NW portions of the state. Ahead of the
front, temperatures will warm by a degree or two each day as to
round out the work week.
For the start of next week, aloft the flow will become nearly
zonal to the north of the state with weak high pressure building
over the area. Expect temperatures to climb into the upper 90's
by the middle of next week with heat index values approaching 110.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 626 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025
Very little change to the previous TAF forecast. Seeing some
patchy fog, and patchy low clouds during the early morning
hours...but these are expected to burn off later today with VFR
ceilings and light winds.
