The next few days will be relatively quiet in Arkansas. On Friday, a strong storm system will be in the central United States. Ahead of the system, a strong south wind will bring warm temperatures and increasing moisture, and the potential of strong to severe thunderstorms. Because the system/associated energy will be well north of the state, this may tend to limit the amount of severe weather. We will monitor the situation closely.
Our weather radar has been working overtime lately so we will occasionally give it a break. We will place the radar in a mode where it will rotate slower, use less power and cut down on overall wear and tear. When precipitation returns, we simply power the radar back up to search the skies for trouble.
Note: "N/A" or "MISG" will be displayed if values are not available. In the LOCATION column, click on links for a list of recent observations at sites of interest. In the WIND column, VRB is "variable" and G is "gust". Wind speeds are in MPH. In the BARO (pressure) column, values are in inches. In the REMARKS column, HX is "heat index", WCI is "wind chill index", and VSB is "visibility" (if shown).
