A critical fire danger will exist on Friday as low RH values coupled with strong wind gusts and continued drought conditions and high statewide wildfire risk will all be in place across eastern Arkansas and parts of central Arkansas.
Above normal to near-record temperatures will persist across the Natural State the next few days. Rain chances will stay largely confined to the northwest portion of the state through the end of the week. Friday, a cold front will usher in much cooler and drier conditions for the weekend.
Above normal to near record temperatures alongside increasing humidity will contribute to afternoon heat index values reaching 100 degrees or more for several locations the next few afternoons.
Temperatures Monday morning will start out in the low to mid 60s across the state. By mid afternoon the majority of the Natural State will be in the 90s with only some higher elevations able to hold onto the upper 80s.
