Unexpected Clouds



TODAY:  A strange turn of events happened overnight.  Instead of a cluster of thunderstorms moving east through Northern Missouri and Illinois, they turned to the southeast while we were sleeping.  Due to this unanticipated shift, we're seeing a good amount of cloud cover in Arkansas this morning...I guess we'll take whatever we can get to cool us off this week.

This afternoon doesn't look nearly as gloomy.  Eventually these clouds will burn off and allow some sun to shine through.  Temperatures won't hit the upper 90's like we were thinking earlier but we will make it back to the 90's no less.

TONIGHT:  Clouds are back on the increase and a cold front will be knocking on our northern border.  In other words it will be warm and humid with temperatures only falling to near 80 degrees.

TOMORROW:  This is our moment to see rain and thunderstorms in Central Arkansas.  The rain chances aren't great but they'll be here.  A cold front and an weak upper level disturbance is anticipated to set off showers in the state.  The best shot of rain looks to start in Northern Arkansas in the morning hours and shift south of I-40 in the afternoon period.  There is the possibility that a few storms may be severe with small hail and gusty winds.

WEDNESDAY:  The front is still in Arkansas so the rain chances still exist on this day.  Otherwise temperatures struggle to get back to the low-mid 90's.

THURSDAY - 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND:  An upper level ridge expands over Arkansas and squashes our rain chances.  Lots of sunshine will make into the state while temperatures sky rocket to the upper 90's.  Wouldn't be surprised if we get our first 100 degree day on Friday or Saturday.  We'll have to wait and see on that.

Alright weather fans that's it.  Be sure to keep it here on the blog for the latest information.  Have a great week.
