Last Map Update: Sat, Sep 26, 2026 at 9:26:35 pm CDT

Here is a look at temperatures for your Sunday. Low temperatures will drop into the 60s across the state while highs will top out in the mid 80s to lower 90s.
Our computer guidance continues to indicate a pattern change developing over the next few days resulting in higher precipitation chances. The upper level high pressure that has dominated of late will shift to the west on Sunday and eventually be replaced by upper level troughing. This change will result in southerly flow developing and as such, an increase in moisture and rain chances.
Rainfall chances are expected to increase through the coming week for much of Arkansas, particularly from Wednesday forward. The latest forecast indicates greater amounts of two to three inches are more favored across the western half of the state.
Friday (9/26) afternoon update: A burn ban remains in effect for most of Arkansas, with all of the state under High Wildfire Danger.
Long range guidance is showing pretty nondescript weather across the the state with equal chances of both temperatures and precipitation being right around where they are supposed to be. Remember, this is a probabilistic forecast, basically it shows the odds of above or below normal values or in the case, near normal values.
Rain chances will increase as we head through next week. Here is an ensemble view of potential rainfall through next Friday. The forecast is not certain yet, but currently the greatest swath of rainfall may stay just to the west and north of Arkansas.
