Clouds and rain return

Good afternoon. As with all good things, they must come to an end sometime. That is the situation with our weather here in the Natural State. Clouds will start to roll in later tonight and tomorrow. There is a slight chance for showers tomorrow. Friday showers and storms will be more wide spread and there is a slight chance for severe weather, especially north of I-40. The weekend looks dry, although skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. We start off the next work week with rain and warmer temps.~Stephen Goodale

A perfect night for star gazing!

When high pressure dominates our weather, it usually means no clouds, no rain, and cooler temperatures. These are all perfect conditions for stargazing. Tonight will be one of those nights. Head as far away from town as you can and enjoy the beautiful sky. The moon is almost full and may be a hindrance. Enjoy!

Too much of a good thing?

Good Afternoon. Another gorgeous day across the Natural State. High pressure is in control, giving us cloudless skies and comfortable temperatures. Tonight expect temperatures in the upper 40's. A long-sleeve shirt or light sweater maybe a good idea in the morning. By the afternoon highs should top out in the upper 70's. Those visiting for Lectureship are in store for more of this beautiful, fall weather. By Thursday the pattern will start to break down, bringing an end to the sunshine. Rain chances increase by the end of the week. The weekend looks to be another dry one.~Stephen Goodale

A Pleasant Change on the Way!

Good evening! It looks as though rain chances will hold on to end the week. For the weekend, conditions look immaculate compared to what they've been this week. For tonight look for slight rain chances. Rain chances increase for tomorrow!~Stephen Goodale

Severe Weather Update

Good evening! A brief severe weather update...A bow echo has formed just to the west of Little Rock. Strong winds and hail are possible along and ahead of the bow echo. For White County... expect strong winds in excess of 60 mph, heavy rain, and hail. An isolated tornado is not out of the question, but is unlikely. Storms are moving East at 35 mph. Storms will be near White County in the next hour to two hours.

More rain ahead!

Good afternoon. Temperatures have been above average today. The humidity has also returned. As we go through tonight expect clouds to increase and a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms. Tomorrow showers and storms will be more widespread as a cold front makes its way through our state. Look for temperatures to return to the 80's by Wednesday, although rain stays in the forecast. Also Fall arrives tomorrow at 4:18 PM.~Stephen Goodale

Impressive Rainfall Totals

Rainfall amounts over the past 24 hours have been impressive. Here are some other impressive numbers from around the state:
Wynne 3.30
Newport 3.10
Des Arc 2.30
Dardanelle 2.28
Hot Springs 2.16
Morrilton 2.15

The rain continues!

Good afternoon! At the Searcy Airport a little over six inches of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours. More rainfall is expected overnight and into tomorrow. No severe weather is expected, just heavy downours at times. A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 6 PM and a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until Thursday night. Rain chances will diminish greatly by Friday as low pressure weakens and moves east. Expect another one to four inches in White County over the next 24 hours. ~Stephen Goodale

A rainy week

Good afternoon! Another dreary day across much of Arkansas. Isolated showers will remain in the forecast tonight. Shower and thunderstorm activity will become more wide spread tomorrow. The umbrella may come in handy as showers and thunderstorms will be the rule over the next week. ~Stephen Goodale
