WEDNESDAY MORNING: Expect plenty of sunshine through the morning, heating temperatures quickly. We’ll start out in the mid-70s. Then by midday, temperatures will reach about 90.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: Heat advisories are in effect for the afternoon through 8 p.m. as temperatures soar into the mid-90s. Heat index values reach 100 to 110. An isolated shower or two will be possible, though most will stay dry.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT & OVERNIGHT: We’ll be partly cloudy overnight with temperatures slipping into the mid-70s. Meanwhile, some scattered storms over Missouri will gradually shift south into parts of northern Arkansas shortly before daybreak Thursday. A few could be marginally severe, perhaps putting out some damaging wind gusts.
THURSDAY & BEYOND: These early morning showers and storms will gradually push south toward I-40, weakening as they do. This will leave us with some lingering showers and clouds, which should keep temperatures a bit cooler Thursday. Highs reach the upper 80s. Then as sunshine returns Friday, highs reach the lower 90s again. A few isolated storms still cannot be ruled out.
Be alerted as soon as severe weather coverage begins by downloading the Arkansas Storm Team app from the App Store or on Google Play.
