Last Map Update: Thu, Sep 24, 2026 at 1:38:25 pm CDT

There are no watches, warnings, or advisories at this time.

Forecast highs today should top out in the upper 70s to upper 80s.
Cooler and drier conditions will persist into the first part of the weekend, but temperatures may warm slightly into early next week. Chances for rainfall will increase by late this weekend, then increase significantly into middle part of next week.
Wednesday (9/23) afternoon update: A burn ban remains in effect for most of Arkansas, with all of the state under High Wildfire Danger.
Probabilistic temperatures featuring chances of lows below 60 degrees and highs below 85 degrees for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. With probabilities featured this manner, one can see a subtle warming trend will ensue into the weekend.
With the extended ridging pattern finally breaking down a return to more seasonable temperatures will make outdoor activities much more pleasant. Dewpoints in the mid to low will allow for temperatures to cool quickly once the sun goes down and eliminate the overnight grossness.
Rain chances will increase late this weekend and again by middle part of next week. Between both events, rainfall probabilities of greater than 0.50" and 1.00" are shown. From the data, portions of west and northwest Arkansas have the highest probabilities of reaching or exceeding these values. Stay tuned to the latest forecast for updates.
