NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 

525 AM CDT FRI MAY 4 2001



WARM AND DRY WEATHER PREVAILS. 



A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES 

CONTINUED TO BRING WARM AND DRY WEATHER TO ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT. 

A COLD FRONT WAS STALLED ACROSS NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND EASTERN 

KANSAS. THUNDERSTORMS MOVED ALONG THE FRONT BUT STAYED NORTH AND 

WEST OF ARKANSAS. 



CONSIDERABLE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS MOVED OVER ARKANSAS DURING THE 

NIGHT. THESE CLOUDS CAME FROM THUNDERSTORMS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID 50S TO MID 60S.



HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO CONTROL THE AREA THROUGH TODAY...AND

WILL DOMINATE THROUGH SATURDAY IN MOST AREAS. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM 

WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST OF THE AREA.  



PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL OCCUR AGAIN TODAY AND

TEMPERATURES SHOULD REACH THE LOWER TO MID 80S IN MOST OF THE AREA

AGAIN. A FEW THUNDERSHOWERS MAY WANDER INTO EXTREME NORTHWESTERN

PARTS OF ARKANSAS...BUT THE MAIN ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN 

WEST AND NORTH OF THE STATE. 



LOW PRESSURE MAY MOVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO ARKANSAS SATURDAY TO BRING A 

CHANCE OF THUNDERSHOWERS TO MAINLY NORTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS. 

THE REST OF THE STATE WILL SEE LITTLE CHANGE TO THE WEATHER...OTHER

THAN MAYBE MORE HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS. 



THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN EARNEST 

SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS MOVING NORTHEAST 

ACROSS THE PLAINS. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY. THE MAIN 

COLD FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO REACH ARKANSAS UNTIL MONDAY. 



TEMPERATURES WILL LOWER SOMEWHAT SUNDAY AS A RESULT OF MORE CLOUDS AND

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSHOWERS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL 

BE IN THE MID 70S TO LOWER 80S ACROSS THE STATE.
