Cool Snap
That warm summer feeling we've grown accustomed to in the last few days is about to go away...real fast. Currently, a strong cold front is nipping on Arkansas heal and it won't be long before it sweeps through the state tonight.

As the front slices through the Natural State, we'll have a line of showers and thunderstorms roam through Central Arkansas. Judging by the latest high resolution models, the storms should arrive after midnight and linger through a good portion of your morning commute. If you're worried about severe weather tonight...don't be...this system will not have a lot of moisture or rotation associated with it. There maybe the occasional gusty wind, small hail and lightning embedded in these storms but that's typical for this region.

Once the front is through then buckle your seat belts its going to be a chilly, breezy ride through a good chunk of the work week. Tuesday we'll have temperatures struggle to get out of the 50's (that's not factoring the 15-25 mph wind ahead) and we'll witness a gloomy site most of the day. Wednesday shouldn't be better either despite more sunshine coming into the state.
After the breezy, cool air settles into Arkansas we'll steadily warm up through the end of the week. High's for Thursday and Friday look warmer in the mid upper 60's while the weekend appears better with thermometers back into the 70's.
So regardless of what you're wearing now, get those long sleeves and coats ready. They're about to get a lot of use soon.
