A critical fire danger will exist on Friday as low RH values coupled with strong wind gusts and continued drought conditions and high statewide wildfire risk will all be in place across eastern Arkansas and parts of central Arkansas.
Update as of Thursday afternoon (10/15): Burn bans remain across much of central and south Arkansas. The wildfire danger has decreased to Moderate across northwest sections due to recent rainfall. However, the wildfire danger has increased to extreme across southern sections.
Forecast lows Friday morning will range from the mid 40s across northwest sections behind the front, and in the upper 50s to mid 60s across southeast sections ahead of the front. Highs on Friday afternoon will be much more Fall-like, mainly in the 50s and 60s for most areas, with some low 70s possible across the south and southeast.
