Continued warming this afternoon will provide more opportunities for record high temperatures, that of which will rival records that were seen across the region back in 1928, 1945, and 2020.
Long term rainfall trends highlight how little rainfall Arkansas has received over the past three months, with much of the state showing around 40 to 50 percent of normal rainfall. Drought conditions will likely persist over the region through the coming week with very little to no rainfall forecast.
A cold front is expected to move across the state on Friday. As this front moves across the state, scattered showers are expected to develop, especially over northern half of Arkansas, with lower chances of rainfall over southern Arkansas. Cooler temperatures will arrive over the weekend with a warm up in store heading into next week.
With a mainly dry weather pattern in place across Arkansas, it is to no surprise wildfire danger has increased statewide. In addition to high levels of wildfire danger, an increasing count of burn bans is popping up across the state. This trend of expanding burn bans is likely through early/mid portion of next work week. By mid/late portion of next work week, wet weather chances will increase hopefully bringing some relief to the Natural State.
