What a beautiful day!

It was a beautiful day across Arkansas with clear skies and temperatures reaching into the upper 60s. The clear skies will continue overnight and into not only tomorrow but the rest of the week! Expect sunny skies, with maybe a few scattered clouds, but nothing to hamper your plans throughout the week. Highs will be reaching near 80 degrees on Wednesday and Thursday with Tuesday and Friday still holding steady in the lower-mid 70s. Lows will stay relatively warm for Spring in the lower 50s. What will all this warmer weather bring? It will bring a chance for rain and thunderstorms once again this weekend for much of the Natural state. So far it looks as though the rain will hold off until Saturday morning, and possibly even until late Saturday. If you have any outdoor plans this would be a great week to get them done, especially if the rain chances become more and more likely. Have a fantastic finish to your March!-Zach Green!

More storms this afternoon

Good morning to all! A batch of showers and thunderstorms moved through our state last night. No severe weather was reported with any of these storms. We are dry and sunny right now. The question is how long will we stay sunny and how will the atmosphere destabilize in that time? Another round of showers and storms will move through central Arkansas this afternoon. If we get enough heating and atmospheric destabilization, the chance for stronger to isolated severe storms is possible. It will be something worth watching throughout the day. After the storms push out this afternoon, cooler and drier air will filter in. Expect temps tonight in the lower 30's. Highs will be back in the 70's by Saturday! Make it a great Thursday everybody!~Stephen

Super-soaker Thursday

Good morning folks! Clouds built in over night and will stay with us through much of the day. Some peaks in the clouds will allow temps to warm near 70 this afternoon. A series of cold fronts in the plains are marching east. As they do chances for thunderstorms increase as we head into the late evening and overnight hours. For storms that occur over night, the sever threat looks to be limited. The better chance for severe development will be tomorrow afternoon. We will be monitoring the situation very closely and bringing you the latest as information becomes available. Zach will have the latest forecast today at 5.~Stephen!

A gorgeous Tuesday!





Good evening folks! Absolutley superb conditions today! Awesome day for some frisbee in the park or to just enjoy a friends company! Temps topped out in the mid 70's. We'll be right back in the mid 70's tomorrow with clouds increasing as we go through out the day. Significant chances return for storms on Thursday. Friday and Saturday clouds will be the rule with highs in the 50's and 60's. Showers and storms will return on Sunday. Have a great evening!~Stephen!

A beautiful day ahead!

Good morning folks! Most Arkansans woke up to mostly sunny skies all across the state. Temps were cool this morning in the 40's.

Spring-like Weather Arrives

After a wacky late-winter storm Spring-like weather finally arrives two days after the storm. It dumped a foot of snow in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In Mckinney, Texas they recieved 7 inches! Most of that snow will have melted away by now and all will be gone by tomorrow afternoon as we are expected to make it into the 70s. The highs in the 70s will stick around until Friday, after a cold front moves in Thursday bringing rain chances to the state. It looks to be a fast moving system, maybe a few marginally severe storms, but mainly rain and completely out of the state by Saturday with sunny skies and temperatures trying to make it back to the 70s again on Saturday. Over the weekend Searcy received 0.48 inches of rain bringing the monthly totals to 0.85 and the yearly totals to 4.81. Enjoy the beautiful spring days as before we the active severe weather really gets going! Have a wonderful Monday night!- Zachary Green.

Welcome Spring!

Good Saturday to everybody! Expect clouds to continue to build in throughout the day. The radar is continuing to show a line of slow moving showers and thunderstorms in western Arkansas. As they continue to move east, chances for showers and storms will increase throughout the day. Expect a super-soaker for Sunday. Behind this cold front, temps will be in the lower 30's at night. A few flurries could be possible as far east as Searcy, but no accumulation is expected. As far as the severe threat, that has been relegated to mostly the Gulf Coast. It is possible that afew storms this evening and tomorrow could be strong with gusty winds and hail. Tuesday and Wednesday our highs will get back into the 70's. Another system moves in late in the week bringing our next chance for rain. Have an awesome weekend~Stephen!
