A few more days of hot and dry conditions are expected for the greater Arkansas region. There is some good news though, as widespread rain chances are set to bring in “cooler” conditions for the region through the latter half of this week. More periodic rain chances will be possible through the weekend, and into next week.

Another hot day is expected across Arkansas today with high temperatures forecast to range from the upper 90s to around 105 degrees. Lows Tuesday night should fall into the lower to mid 70s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected over portions of Arkansas this afternoon as a frontal boundary lifts northward.

Heat Risk depicts Major to patchy Extreme across a large part of the state Tuesday and Wednesday. As we head into Thursday, slightly cooler temperatures are expected as precipitation chances increase and cloud cover become more prevalent therefore heat risk reduces to Moderate and Major category. This cooler trend will extend beyond Thursday time frame.

The potential for precipitation is increasing across the state between Thursday and Sunday. A short-wave trough is expected to move across the state late Thursday into Friday. Additionally, a stalled frontal boundary near the AR/MO border will serve as a lifting mechanism for showers and thunderstorms. On and off showers and thunderstorms will be possible into Sunday as another disturbance moves across the region. As far as rainfall totals go, northern Arkansas is the favored location for the most beneficial rainfall, with both central and southern Arkansas expecting much lower totals through the same time period.

On this day in 2018, the remnants of Tropical Storm Gordon moved into Arkansas. This system interacted with a stalled frontal boundary, resulting in heavy rainfall across portions of the state. At Pine Bluff, 5.66" fell at the Water Plant with 3.83" of that falling in one hour. This led to widespread flooding issues within the city of Pine Bluff and leaving numerous vehicles stranded.
