.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1209 AM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025

High pressure continues to hold a firm grasp across much of the mid 
south early this morning. Latest deterministic guidance shows 
ridging will stay in place through Wednesday. By Wednesday night 
into Thursday, a weak upper disturbance will round the periphery 
of the upper trough over the east coast coupled with an increase 
in surface moisture bringing a chance for an isolated shower or 
thunderstorm on Thursday to parts of Arkansas. As previously 
stated, confidence model solutions for Thursday remains low.

As the upper trough over the east coast moves off shore, an upper
low/inverted trough forms over southern AL/N FL sometime on 
Friday into the weekend. The GFS solution shows the low/inverted 
trough meandering northwest into the mid south by this weekend and
may bring some isolated POPs to the eastern part of the state. 

The ECMWF solution shows the upper low/inverted trough drifting 
westward along the gulf coast with no sensible impacts to weather 
in the state. At the end of the upcoming weekend into early next 
week, both the ECMWF and GFS solutions show a deepening trough 
over the western US, but vary on the eastward progression of the 
trough. This will allow south to southwest flow to set up over 
Arkansas with continued dry conditions and light winds. 

Temperatures will continue to be seasonally warm for late 
September into early October averaging roughly 4 to 6 degrees 
above normal for climatological highs each afternoon. Lows each
night will range from the upper 50s to lower to mid 60s each night
across the state through early next week. Dry conditions are 
expected to persist beyond Thursday through the rest of the 
period.
