.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1229 AM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025
To begin the period, a somewhat active weather pattern is expected
over the next several days as multiple shortwaves move across the
state. With it comes the chance for showers, thunderstorms, and
cooler temperatures (later in the week). The best chance for rain
through the period will be Monday through Wednesday morning. While
widespread severe is not expected, some isolated storms could
produce severe hail and/or wind gusts.
As of this forecast package, showers and thunderstorms continue to
move across northern locations bringing the chance for small hail
and gusty winds. With that said, the bigger threat could be flash
flooding due to heavy rainfall and training thunderstorms.
As with any scattered convection, exact totals depend where storms
set up. Northern Arkansas will likely see the most in the way of
rain accumulations with two to four inches possible through
Wednesday. Lesser amounts are expected the further south you go
across the state with one to three inches possible across central
locations and up to an inch for southern locations. Higher
accumulations will be possible for areas with consistent storms or
training.
Temperatures are expected to be average to above average through
much of the period with high temperatures in the lower 80s (mainly
northern locations) to lower 90s and overnight low temperatures
dropping into the lower 60s to lower 70s across the state.

The main aviation impacts during this period will occur over
northern Arkansas with scattered thunderstorms overnight. Storms
have formed up along the MO/AR border as the low level jet starts
to develop. Most guidance has these storms remaining along the
nose of that jet in the location of KHRO and KBPK for 3-5 hours.
Depending on how quickly the clouds and storms move east, it could
cause fog to develop in the morning over northern Arkansas if
there is any clearing with how wet the ground will be in the
morning.
The next aviation threat will be isolated storms that will form
over south central Arkansas in the afternoon. Most activity looks
to stay south of I40, but the forcing is weak so outflows could
migrate storms north throughout the afternoon.
