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

Cooler air will continue to filter onto the state with high temperatures Thursday only climbing into the upper 50s across the north to the lower 70s down south. Lows Friday morning will drop into the upper 20s in spots across the northwest to near 40 south.
Here is a look at your forecast through November 18th. The overall much of the forecast still looks to be dry, but rain chances do return Sunday into Monday morning. Colder temperatures will usher into the state behind the first of two cold fronts. A secondary cold front is expected on Friday, bringing even colder temperatures to Arkansas.
Colder air will move into the state on Thursday, setting the stage for freezing temperatures over portions of northwest and north central Arkansas Friday morning. If you have plants outdoors that are sensitive to freezing temperatures, it would be best to bring them indoors if possible.
Saturday morning should be the coldest morning over the next several days. Much of the state has at least a 25% chance of experiencing freezing temperatures or lower. In fact, portions of northern Arkansas have greater than 25% chance of a hard freeze (28 degrees or less).
Take a look to the sky over the next few nights to see a myriad of celestial events. This week will feature meteors showers and planetary parades. With the moon in its new phase, the sky should be plenty dark.
Starting back on this day, way back in 1911, one of the most drastic temperature swings occurred in Arkansas as a very strong Arctic cold front moved through. Record high temperatures occurred in advance of the front and record lows behind it. It was a truly remarkable.
