The greater Arkansas forecast over the next seven days. Temperatures and heat index values will trend upward going into the upcoming week. Precipitation chances will be low to very low over the period, but chances will exist.
Heat Risk is expected to be in Major to Extreme category across a good portion of the state through mid/late week. Temperatures across the state are running well above average, 10-15 degrees above average, for both highs and lows for middle part of September.
A burn ban remains in effect for 67 of the 75 counties in Arkansas. Recent rainfall during the Thursday night and into Saturday brought appreciable rainfall to parts of Arkansas, but wildfire danger remains high through the state.
Rainfall was beneficial over the northwest half of the state between Thursday and Saturday. Across these areas, amounts in excess of 3" was observed or estimated via doppler radar.
