DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 225 AM CDT TUE AUG 4 2026
TO BEGIN THE PERIOD, AR CONTINUES TO BE SANDWICHED BETWEEN AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE EAST AND A STRONG UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO
THE WEST. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MILD AND DRY CONDITIONS TO
THE STATE. 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.
ADDITIONALLY, POP CHANCES INCREASES AS WE GET TOWARDS THE END OF
THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS NW FLOW SETTLES OVER THE STATE.
