Patchy fog will be possible across portions of Arkansas Thursday morning in areas that received rainfall Wednesday. Travel may become dangerous as visibilities may drop to a mile or below, with isolated pockets of half a mile or less. Any areas of fog should begin to burn off by mid to late morning.
A Heat Advisory is in effect for Thursday afternoon for areas along and south of I-40 on Thursday for heat index values up to 108. Rain chances and lingering clouds may help limit the peak heating this afternoon.
A stationary front sits across the state and will help generate another round of showers and thunderstorms Thursday. The most likely areas to receive rainfall will be along and to the west of the front. Isolated pockets of an inch or greater will be possible in areas that a stronger storm or two could form.
Thursday will be the mildest day of the week so far. Highs will (only) reach into the lower to mid 90s. Overnight lows will drop down into the lower 70s with a few pockets of upper 60s overnight Thursday.
Portions of north and central Arkansas have been placed in a Marginal (1 out of 5) Risk for severe storms Friday afternoon into Friday Night. The main hazard with these storms will be damaging winds gusts.
According to the Climate Prediction Center, Arkansas can expect above normal temperatures and near normal precipitation for the period between August 1 through 5.
