Arkansas could be getting an inch or a little more over the weekend. Good news is we’re missing the wintry weather!

We’ve had our share of scattered showers and thunderstorms across Arkansas today. Part of Garland County has been in the Severe Risk.

We’ll get some lightning, thunder, and likely a little rain today, but Garland County is out of the Severe Risk today. It will be in the Severe Risk Thursday. If conditions worsen, I’ll update here.

Last night’s showers didn’t keep our heat down for long. It’s still brutal out there this afternoon. Experience caution when involved in outdoor activities.

A nice thunderstorm is in Hot Springs and Garland County at the moment. It’s bringing intense rain and will hopefully cool us off, but it’s not enough to be a severe weather event.

The heat is still brutal across the region. Exercise caution when performing outdoor activities until the evening.

The heat continues across the region today. Exercise caution when involved in outdoor activities.

There’s an Excessive Heat Warning in effect for much of Arkansas (pink) and a Heat Advisory in effect for other parts of the state (orange).

While we could have an occasional shower or thunderstorm, it seems the severe risk is outside of Central Arkansas this weekend. Nice to have a break from some of it!

Severe weather chances continue today. There is also a flood risk in Missouri.
