A quick look at temperatures and precipitation for the greater Arkansas area over the next few days. Temperatures will be close to normal initially before climbing again early next week. Rain chances will taper off until at least mid-week next week.
Low temperatures across Arkansas Friday night will fall to the low to mid 30s for northern Arkansas, and the low to mid 40s for central to southern Arkansas.
Cooler high temperatures will be seen across the state on Saturday behind an overnight cold front, with most areas topping out in the low to mid 50s, and portions of southwest Arkansas in the low 60s.
It has been very dry of late across the region with almost all of Arkansas now abnormally dry or even in a moderate drought. Parts of northeast Arkansas are now seeing severe drought conditions. Even though some rain is in the forecast for today, the expected amounts will have no impact on the expanding drought.
We have to go way back to 1864 for what happened on this day in Arkansas weather history. Severe cold gripped parts of the state on the first day of that year. No such worries this year with highs in the 50s and 60s expected.
