Warm & Humid for the Weekend...

The weather is certainly not as active like we had earlier in the week.  Here is quick review of what will occur in the next few days.

TODAY: Thunderstorms will continue to roam around the northern border of Arkansas near the stationary front.  At the same time, in central Arkansas we'll feel a breezy wind and muggy air return to the region.  There will be moments where you'll make out some sunshine but won't be for an extended period of time.  In addition to these conditions, temperatures will be in the 80's this afternoon.

EASTER SUNDAY:  Mother Nature will provide almost the exact same weather pattern.  Majority of the storms will be north of I-40 while other parts of Arkansas will enjoy a breezy, warm day with temperatures surging to the 80's.  A few showers may finally reach central Arkansas later in the evening and overnight hours.

NEXT WEEK:  Get ready for a soggy and wet start to the week.  A cold front will sag back into Central Arkansas as we get into Monday and Tuesday.  This event will setup the stage where a few strong thunderstorms could exist.  At this time, hail and weak tornadoes are the worst threats.  The worst day looks to be Wednesday.  By this time an intense surface low will develop right in our backyard in Arkansas.  With the winds spinning with height and a great supply of moisture we could be looking at several tornadoes on that day.  We'll have to wait and see if the models verify on this setup.

We'll have more updates on the blog later this weekend.  Until then have a great Easter and enjoy the weather.
