Aviation... 
localized IFR ceilings and MVFR visibilities in isolated thunderstorms 
will continue mainly across the northwest Arkansas taf sites through 02z...VFR 
conditions are expected...however MVFR visibilities in fog may 
develop after 10z. VFR conditions expected after 14z. Isolated 
thunderstorms after 20z across southeast OK and northwest are expected.

Previous discussion... /issued 345 PM CDT Thursday Aug 21 2008/ 


Discussion... 
scattered showers and thunderstorms across mainly northwest 
Arkansas and far eastern Oklahoma will mostly dissipate by sunset 
with the loss of heating. The models have trended towards more 
ridging over the area during the next week than what they were 
showing yesterday so diurnal convection should be less numerous 
than previously thought. Will keep some low probability of precipitation each day 
through Monday with no mention of rain at night. Diurnal 
convective chances diminish even further beyond Monday so will 
continue the dry forecast in the Tuesday through Thursday 
timeframe. Temperatures will also be a bit warmer with a more 
dominant upper ridge and will be very near the seasonal normals 
for the entire forecast period. 


Will still go a bit cooler than the GFS MOS for daytime maximums 
and at or above the GFS MOS for minimums the next several days.
