While we do have some rain in the forecast, we will need much more than what is currently forecast to make a significant dent in this drought. That being said, western Arkansas is still looking like the best candidate to see in excess of an inch of rain through Thursday. Chances of seeing an inch or more of rain decrease quickly further east.
Unsettled weather pattern is expected to develop across the middle portion of the country within background southwesterly flow. Periods of rain will be possible across Arkansas into next weekend.
No change to county issued burn bans since last update. Increasing Min RHs across the western 2/3rds of the state will keep most fire danger lower. Gusty winds Sunday in Northeastern Arkansas could increase wildfire danger later in the weekend.
An active severe weather pattern is forecast for the Southern Great Plains beginning next week. Portions of west to northwest Arkansas could see severe weather by Wednesday, April 15, though forecast uncertainties remain, and confidence is on the lower side.
