A weak and isolated low which was previously thought to be moving eastward by later in the week is now forecast to stall a bit more and probably track westward, passing south of the Ozarks, between now and Saturday.
The upshot of this is to keep rain chances going as long as this feature is close by. The 1-3 day rainfall forecast through Friday from the HPC is included, showing areas of western Arkansas forecast to pick up in excess of 4" as a result of this feature.
In the Ozarks, the rain totals ramp up quickly moving southward. A few inches of rain are conceivable in portions of Arkansas.
Bands of showers rotating around this feature will be capabile of producing locally heavy downpours in isolated sections of Missouri too.
It appears as if a weekend cool front will finally "kick" the rain system out of here at that time.
