Gloomy Sight Replaces Sunshine

Here is a quick sample of the webcast we'll be posting on the FOX 16 website on a fairly regular basis.  This video does include the forecast for this evening.

FORECAST FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS

TOMORROW: Clouds will stick around the first half of your Friday but will eventually break up and reveal more sunshine in the afternoon hours.  Temperatures will gradually warm up to the low to mid 80's.   I'm sure that will be a treat.  In addition to the warmth we'll have our humidity spike up.   A few models are showing a couple showers crossing our western border by late Friday evening but that scenario seems far fetched at this point.

THE WEEKEND: We'll get a nice blend of clouds and sunshine while temperatures hover in the 80's.  Breezy winds will be factor on Sunday with a strong low developing over to our northwest.  As the low pressure system travels eastward, it will carry a cold front underneath it.  This front will visit Arkansas late Sunday night and into the wee hours of Monday morning.  Of course, with the front pressing through we'll have thunderstorms slam the region.  Judging by the latest model parameters and timing of the event were looking at gusty straight line winds and small hail out of these storms.  Again, the tornado threat will be fairly low.

That is it from the weather center.  Make sure to watch Chief Meteorologist Jeff Baskin this evening at 5, 5:30, 9 and 10pm.
