The forecast is calling for temperatures that are more what we are used to for the middle of January. Very dry air will be in place through Tuesday for a continuing, elevated wildfire risk.
Sunday morning will definitely be a cold one across the state with lows in the single digits across the higher elevations to the lower 20s over the south.
Little if any precipitation fell from a passing cold front and wildfire danger remains moderate across all of Arkansas. More counties are now under burn bans and with no widespread or appreciable precipitation expected in the immediate future, additional burn bans may be issued. County Judges issue burn bans for their respective county.
Most of Arkansas is currently experiencing drought conditions. Over 45% of the state are in a severe drought or greater (D2 or greater). Portions of north central Arkansas are experiencing extreme drought (D3 drought conditions).
