Between forecasts in the Appalachians, were going to take a quick jaunt over to the Ozarks.

At 1153PM, CT, Fayetteville was reporting overcast skies with a temperature of 73 degrees. The remnants of Tropical Storm Bill is centered over southeastern Missouri. Fayetteville finds itself on the back end of this system, which is leading to the overcast conditions over the region. Fortunately, Bill has hooked up with a shortwave aloft, and is rocketing off to the northeast.
Another advantage to the departure of Bill is that it will draw the flow of Gulf moisture. Although there is a weak wave over the Upper Midwest, Gulf flow will not be transported through Fayetteville and the Ozarks. Expect instead that Fayetteville will stay dry the next two days. Not only that, but the humidity will be much more tolerable than June can be.

Clearing out nicely, isn’t it? Here you can see the mess Bill is causing, with northwest Arkansas ready to break out.

Things are going to get fairly dicey today for a large swath of the south, with snow and ice returning once again. Is Fayetteville one of those unfortunate locales?

At 1153AM, CT, Fayetteville was reporting a temperature of 39 degrees with clear skies. The Texas Hooker that promised to bring some significant snowfall to the southern United States was generating moderate snow as far north as Mena-Little Rock line, but posed no threat to the Ozarks this time around. Of more intrigue to Fayetteville should be the strong upper level trough diving through the Upper Midwest.
A pair of perturbations are riding the leading edge of the upper level trough as it digs into the Plains. The eastern perturbation will see much of its moisture leached by the Hooker that will nearly become a Nor’easter while the western wave will be sliding south along the Front Range, and will be a greater threat for the Texas Panhandle. Aloft, the jet will become more uniform, and work on shifting the upper level trough eastward, but at the surface, this will mean cold high pressure taking over on Thursday. The NAM and Euro are suggesting a little bit of cyclonic development at the base of the trough when the western wave reaches the area, however, it seems fairly unlikely that it will bring anything more than a few clouds to Fayetteville on Friday evening. There is a better chance for flurries tomorrow as the trough makes its first push into the region. With the advance of cold air, Tomorrows temperatures will be non-standard.

Like I said, there is a better chance for snow tomorrow than on Friday, and it appears there is a sizable contingent that agrees with that sentiment. Here is the radar showing today’s snowy weather in central Arkansas.

Doesn’t it seem like we were just here? Say, we were! Anyhow, let’s see what the forecast holds.

At 853PM, ET, Fayetteville was reporting clear skies and a temperature of 45 degrees. A weak area of high pressure lies centered over the Carolinas, and though the ridge will break down, a stable airmass will remain in place through tomorrow.
A favorably tilted wave is moving through the southern Plains and into the Lower Mississippi Valley. The surface portion of this wave is presently in Texas and will organize over the Mississippi Delta through Friday morning. The system will then begin to steer to the east-northeast, on a bee-line for Fayetteville. By Friday evening, expect rain, isolated thunderstorms, and some wind. Early arriving overcast will keep temperatures in check.

Yep, that’s actually Weatherbug’s forecast. We have another glitch in the matrix. Check out the sprawling mass of clouds wrapping it’s tendrils around Texas. That’ll be trouble.

We’re going down south to the Tar Heel State. Fayetteville is in the southern part of North Carolina, and one of the largest cities in the state. If you’re only interested in the weather, well then do I have some good news for you! Here comes the forecast.

At 553PM, ET, Fayetteville was reporting a temperature of 50 degrees with clear skies. The satellite remains clear at this hour, however just off the South Carolina/Georgia coast, there lies a field of developing cumulus clouds. This is in response to an upper level feature pivoting through the Great Lakes, inducing some surface instability off shore. Guidance is fairly consistent in its belief that a plume of moisture will develop over the eastern Carolinas tonight before feeding into a developing surface low off of Chesapeake Bay.
The axis of rain will extend from Philadelphia to Wilmington by tomorrow morning, and Fayetteville stands a chance of seeing a couple inches of rain through the day tomorrow if things play out as they have trended. As the upper level trough pivots into the area, expect the cooler air to force the rain off shore and into developing into something more organized. A drier evening is expected. Laminar, stable and generally pleasant conditions are in order for Monday.

Looks like rain will be coming tonight, and it is up for some debate as to how long it will last tomorrow. Either way, pack an umbrella if you have ay plans in Fayetteville.
