With partly to mostly cloudy skies in place, temperatures will only make it into the lower 70s to lower 80s across the state. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible as the overall pattern remains unsettled.
The probability of severe weather looks to be rather low the next seven days across the state. This does not mean we will not see thunderstorms but rather the risk of severe storms is very low.
Lets look ahead a few days and what we see is a very good chance of temperatures where they should be for the early part of June. After all the rain of late, it will also be nice to see at least some lower than normal probabilities when it comes to rainfall.
On this day in 1973 weather history, five tornadoes were spawned on May 26-27th. The strongest tornado, rated F4, struck the town of Jonesboro during the overnight hours. There were three fatalities and over 250 injured in Jonesboro.
