Little if any precipitation fell from a passing cold front and wildfire danger remains moderate across all of Arkansas. 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. County Judges issue burn bans for their respective county.
Saturday afternoon highs will be suppressed by the much colder air in place across the state behind the cold front that moved through. Temperatures on Saturday are only expected to peak between the mid 30s to upper 40s across the state.
A gusty Saturday late morning through Saturday late afternoon is expected with wind gusts in excess of 25 mph to 35 mph across most of the northern half of Arkansas. Any fire that becomes out of control will easily become difficult to control in these windy conditions.
Most of Arkansas is currently experiencing drought conditions. Over 45% of the state are in a severe drought or greater (D2 or greater). Portions of north central Arkansas are experiencing extreme drought (D3 drought conditions).
