A Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) for severe weather remains across southern Arkansas this afternoon and evening. The primary threat expected with the strongest thunderstorms will be damaging wind gusts, with locally heavy rainfall also possible.
Looking ahead to temperatures from July 17 through July 25, the theme remains a likely chance of above normal temperatures compared to normal values across Arkansas for middle to late July.
For the 6-14 day period looking ahead, the precipitation outlook across Arkansas is expected to remain near normal to slight chances of below normal precipitation for middle into late July.
A signal for triple digit high temperatures is beginning to develop across portions of Arkansas as both an upper level ridge and surface high pressure impact the state.
