Our forecast starts with wind, gets stormy, then colder every day until it’s close to single digit temps. Read the extended forecast below.
Gusty south and southeast winds will be common Friday night. Parts of north-central and west-central Arkansas could see some gusts between 20 and 30 mph at times.
Some strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible on Saturday, mainly across the southeast portion of the state. Damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes will all be possible with the strongest thunderstorms in this region of the state. Some areas of heavy rainfall may also be seen on Saturday, which may lead to flash flooding and river flooding.
Much colder air will move into the state Saturday night through Sunday morning. There may be enough moisture to see some light wintry weather across northern portions of the area Saturday night, with minor accumulations possible. Another storm system could bring more wintry weather to the forecast during the Tuesday into Wednesday timeframe, but many uncertainties remain this far out in time to discuss details.
