.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT
MAIN FLOW ALOFT IS WELL TO THE NORTH...SO WEATHER FEATURES ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES ARE CRAWLING AT BEST. PERSISTENT HIGH

DRIFTING TO THE EAST...WITH A STORM SYSTEM EDGING TOWARD THE
REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES.

BETWEEN THE AFOREMENTIONED FEATURES...THERE IS ENOUGH
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY DUE TO MAINLY HEATING TO TRIGGER ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED PRECIPITATION IN NORTHERN AND WESTERN ARKANSAS. THE SAME
AREAS WILL HAVE SMALL CHANCES FOR RAIN ON MEMORIAL DAY.

BY TUESDAY...THE SOUTHWEST SYSTEM WILL FINALLY ARRIVE...AND
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GO UP. GOOD CHANCES
FOR RAIN ARE IN THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...READINGS WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL...BUT
WILL BE CLOSER TO NORMAL ONCE CLOUDS/RAIN SET IN LATE IN THE
PERIOD AND INTO THE LONG TERM.
&& 

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE CUT OFF FROM THE MAIN FLOW...AND 
MEANDER AROUND THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IN THE LONG TERM. THIS WILL BRING 
UNSETTLED CONDITIONS TO THE STATE THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED. RAIN 
CHANCES AT THIS TIME ARE HARD TO PIN DOWN...BUT THE BEST CHANCES 
WILL BE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...WITH LESSER CHANCES THROUGH 
SATURDAY.
