.DISCUSSION... Issued at 103 AM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025
Outside of isolated rain and thunderstorm chances acrs Nrn AR this aftn, a persistence-style fcst is on deck for the Natural State thru the next 5-7 days as upper lvl ridging builds in over the Cntrl US.
Regarding rain chances this aftn, an embedded vort max is progged to maneuver thru mean NWrly H500 flow, and may support development of a cluster or even weak MCS acrs portions of MO, w/ precip possibly reaching into Nrn AR later this aftn. Have included higher PoP mentions, but QPF and covg of precip should remain on the low side.
Following today, a mean pattern of H500 ridging is expected to build in acrs the Cntrl US, w/ asctd sfc high pressure residing over the Ern half of the US. This should promote persistence condns, w/ above normal temperatures and dry and settled weather condns prevailing.
