Hazardous Weather Outlook

Independence Day Weekend: Temperatures/Heat Index

Forecast High Temperatures: Independence Day

Forecast Rain Chances: Independence Day

Saturday Morning: Forecast Low Temperatures

Saturday Afternoon: Forecast High Temperatures

High temperatures and heat index values will be slightly lower than some of the values felt over the last couple of weeks. Despite this, it's a must to continue to practice heat safety and remain hydrated, especially with so many outdoor events taking place this Independence Day Weekend.

Forecast high temperatures on Fourth of July are forecast to vary from the mid 80s to mid 90s across Arkansas.

Low end rain/storm chances will be possible Friday afternoon thru Friday evening. Any showers or storms that do develop should begin to diminish before sunset. Rain and storms will be highly hit and miss with the greater chances of encountering a possible shower or storm across parts of southern, western, and northern Arkansas. The main concern will be the potential for lightning and gusty winds as severe thunderstorms are not anticipated, but storms do not need to be severe to cause harm to you, especially when outdoors! If you do hear thunder or happen to see lightning, then you are close enough to be struck yourself.

Saturday morning low temperatures will be typical for early July with temperatures only dropping into the upper 60s to mid 70s statewide.

Saturday afternoon high temperatures will be warmer than temperatures felt on Friday (Independence Day). High temperatures will vary from the upper 80s to upper 90s across Arkansas.
