Hurricane Isaias should be making landfall late this evening/early Saturday morning somewhere along the Mississippi to the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast. The latest forecast keeps most impacts east of Arkansas, with currently only some increased chances for rainfall for the eastern portion of the state Saturday. The better chances for excessive rainfall will remain east of the state. There could also be some increased winds Saturday as well, but mainly along the Mississippi River region.
Temperatures across Arkansas will largely remain above average for highs and near average for lows. Limited rain chances will return on Saturday, mainly eastern Arkansas, associated with the approach of remnants of Isaias. Winds may become breezy at times on Saturday, especially within rain bands. Afterwards, dry conditions will return to the region with the arrival of an upper-level ridge.
The latest 6 to 10 day outlook is trending towards both elevated chances for above normal temperatures and precipitation chances going into mid-October.
