TO BEGIN THE PERIOD, A STRONG RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OUT WEST
CONTINUES TO EXPAND EASTWARD. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING MILD
AND DRY CONDITIONS TO THE STATE. WITH THAT SAID, WE WILL SEE A
SLIGHT PATTERN CHANGE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS NW FLOW ALOFT BRINGS
INCREASED RAIN CHANCES.
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 REST OF THE WORKWEEK. HEAT HEADLINES WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED BY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOONS.
ADDITIONALLY, POP CHANCES INCREASES AS WE GET TO FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AS NW FLOW SETTLES OVER THE REGION. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
