TO BEGIN THE PERIOD, AR IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH TO THE NORTHEAST AND A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO THE
WEST. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MILD AND SOMEWHAT COOLER
CONDITIONS TO THE STATE MONDAY WITH A MUCH NEEDED BREAK FROM THE
HOT TEMPERATURES AS OF LATE. WITH THAT SAID, THE PATTERN WILL
BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE NEXT HEAT WAVE
MOVES IN LATER THIS WEEK.
AS THE PATTERN BREAKS DOWN, THE RIDGE OUT WEST WILL SLOWLY EXPAND
BACK KEEPING ARKANSAS IN EASTERN SIDE OF THE RIDGE EARLY IN THE
WEEK BEFORE COMPLETELY DOMINATING THE PATTERN BY LATE IN THE WEEK.
THIS WILL SLOWLY INCREASE TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY ACROSS THE
STATE THROUGH THE WORKWEEK. EXPECT COOLER TEMPERATURES EARLY IN
THE PERIOD BEFORE HOT TEMPERATURES RETURN LATE IN THE WEEK INTO
NEXT WEEK. HEAT HEADLINES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED BY THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY AFTERNOONS.
