Temperatures will remain above average through the rest of this week and into the weekend. By early next week, a stalled frontal boundary will bring rain chances across the state.
There is now a slight chance of seeing some strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening over the far southeast part of the state. The primary concern with any storm that develops will be large hail.
Very dry conditions of late have led to widespread drought conditions over the state. There is some good news however as guidance continues to indicate the weather pattern will become much more unsettled starting Sunday and continuing well into next week.
With little to no appreciable rainfall expect into this weekend conditions will only continue to dry out. Wildfire danger is high to moderate across all of Arkansas at this time. More counties are now under burn bans and with no widespread or appreciable precipitation expected in the immediate future, additional burn bans may be issued across the state.
While it has been very dry of late, rain chances will be amping up significantly starting Sunday as the weather pattern will be changing. Several storm systems will be moving across the region bringing much welcomed precipitation to the state. The northwest looks to see the highest amounts with decreasing amounts to the south and east.
