High temperatures across Arkansas will range from the low 80s to mid 90s depending on your location. Locations which experience a good amount of rain and rain-cooled air will have suppressed high temperatures compared to locations where high temperatures peak before rain and cloud cover can manage high temperatures. Saturday morning low temperatures will vary from the mid 60s to low 70s statewide.
Here is a quick peek at your forecast for the next seven days. The best rain chances will be on Friday as a cold front moves through the state. Temperatures will remain warm but not extreme. However, elevated moisture levels will keep heat index values on the higher side most of this period.
A burn ban is currently in effect for all 75 counties in Arkansas, additionally the wildfire danger for the entire state has been raised to the high category. Hopefully, rainfall over the next couple of days will bring relief to parts of the state.
The latest drought monitor continues to show a large part of Arkansas in severe to extreme drought conditions. Some small areas of exceptional drought are also now starting to show up. Precipitation is in the forecast, mainly tonight, but will likely not make a significant dent in the overall dry conditions.
