SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY A FRONT WAS MOVING INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS THIS MORNING. MOVEMENT OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS HAS BEEN SLOW BUT WITH UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMING MORE NORTHERLY AS THE DAY GOES ON...THE FRONT SHOULD PICK UP SOME SPEED AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE SOUTH. EXPECT THE FRONT WILL BE IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE FRONT SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH FOCUS FOR SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN LOCATION AND COVERAGE IS TOO LOW AT THIS POINT TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN 20 PERCENT FOR THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM WILL BE DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. NORTHEASTERLY SURFACE FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES LIMITED TO AROUND 90 DEGREES FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS WHICH...WHEN COMBINED WITH DRIER POST-FRONTAL AIR...SHOULD MAKE FOR MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE AFTERNOONS.
