Area forecast discussion...update for aviation
National Weather Service Little Rock Arkansas
1225 am CDT Thursday Aug 28 2008

Aviation...
VFR conditions expected next 24 hours. Some patchy fog expected
overnight with possible MVFR visibilities...especially at
khro...kbpk. IFR fog potential at kpbf only. Any fog will quickly
dissipate after sunrise Thursday. Light south wind
overnight...becoming S to SW Thursday 5 to 10 miles per hour. (59)

Previous discussion... /issued 301 PM CDT Wednesday Aug 27 2008/

Short term...tonight through Saturday night
a mix of clouds and sun was noted this afternoon with isolated
showers popping up. Any precipitation should diminish this evening
given the loss of daytime heating...and patchy fog expected after
midnight.

Thursday will be a lot like today...with a ridge of high pressure
beginning to build into Arkansas from the Southern Plains. Before
the ridge arrives...a weak cold front will slide into the state
from the north late Thursday/Friday.

The high will strengthen as the front pushes into the
region...with the front stalling and washing out this weekend.
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are in the
forecast along the front.

In the tropics...all eyes will be on Gustav. The system is
expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico as the period ends.

As far as temperatures...typical summertime readings are in the
forecast in the coming days.

Long term...Sunday through Wednesday
kept slight probability of precipitation going for just the southern portion of the state at
the start of the period...as the weak frontal boundary will be
washed out to the south of the area. Meanwhile a trough over the
western Continental U.S. Will be digging...while Gustav continues to move
towards the Gulf states. This trough will attempt to bring a cold
front south into the region...affecting north Arkansas by midweek.

Still some differences among the long range models with Gustav. The
GFS wants to take the tropical system over eastern Louisiana by
early next week...where as the European brings a more westerly track
near the Texas Louisiana border by Tuesday morning. Went with more
of a GFS solution and kept low probability of precipitation through the end of the
extended...although this will need to be updated as models come to
more of an agreement. Temperatures will be slightly above normal
throughout the period.

Lzk watches/warnings/advisories...none.
