Mid Week Front

Wednesday will feature a little hint of Spring with temperatures in the 60s, but don't get used to it. A cold front will push through Central Arkansas tonight with a line of rain and a few storms. Although a few spotty showers will be possible during the evening hours, the main line of rain will reach Central Arkansas shortly after midnight into the early hours of Thursday.

Although some storms are likely, severe weather is not expected. The main inhibiting factor is lack of heating ahead of the front as it pushes through during the overnight hours. The bulk of the upper air energy will also stay far to the North. The end result is a minor threat of some gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall

Rainfall amounts are expected to be in the range of about half an inch to an inch in some spots through Thursday, keeping the risk of flooding low. The band of rain will likely stall across Southeast Arkansas for a time Thursday morning resulting in a band of heavier amounts of 1 to 2 inches.
