REST OF TODAY: The weather is extremely hot with temperatures in the triple digits and heat index values climbing above 110 (look at the image below...I know right). It is just not a good idea to be outside for more than a couple minutes. The sunshine will remain large and in charge for the rest of the late afternoon and will keep temperatures in the triple digits for a couple more hours.
TONIGHT: The sky will be clear and that will help radiate out all the heat we received earlier today. Although, with the moisture content being fairly high, we'll only feel temperatures cool off about 20 degrees tonight. That means overnight low's will once again fall down near 80 degrees. Yuck.
TOMORROW: Monday will look and feel almost identical to what we're going through today. With a relatively strong ridge overhead, temperatures will sky rocket to the triple digits once again while the sunshine beats down on the state.
LATER THIS WORK WEEK: Weather models continue to hint at a subtle change by Wednesday and beyond. The upper level ridge will rotate a weak disturbance toward Arkansas and on top of that the ridge will weaken in the process. In other words, we're looking at a shot of afternoon showers and thunderstorms soon. Plus temperatures won't be as hot in the 90's.
As I continue to review all of the long term models, it's quite apparent that Northern/Eastern Arkansas has the greatest chances at seeing the accumulation of rain. I'll continue to monitor this change in the weather pattern and let you know when we can a little relief from heat soon.
Until then have an awesome rest of your weekend and stay cool as best you can!
