Wildfire Danger/Burn Bans

Low Temperature Chances This Weekend

Forecast lows tonight into Thursday morning will be in the upper 60s to low 70s. Highs on Thursday afternoon will be in the upper 70s to mid 90s.

A critical fire danger will exist on Friday as low RH values coupled with strong wind gusts and continued drought conditions and high statewide wildfire risk will all be in place across eastern Arkansas and parts of central Arkansas.

Above normal temperatures will persist for the Natural State on Thursday. Scattered showers will linger over west to northwest Arkansas through early Thursday afternoon. Friday, a strong cold front will usher in much cooler and drier conditions for the weekend.

Burn bans remain across much of central and south Arkansas. All of Arkansas remains under a high risk of wildfire danger.

With colder air settling into the state, here are the probabilities of minimum temperatures falling below 40 degrees over the weekend
