After enduring a mild April, Little Rock and Central Arkansas is about to face the summer heat a little early this May.
The jet stream will lift up near the northern part of the U.S. late this work week and into the first weekend of May. Meanwhile, a big area of high pressure will develop aloft near the Texas and Mexico border. Inevitably this setup will cause our temperatures to constantly sky rocket to the low 90's during the afternoon. In case you were wondering, these numbers will rival a few record highs down the road.
We're not talking about triple digit heat so don't throw in the towel on our weather pattern just yet, but I don't except this humid air or warmth to leave Arkansas anytime soon.
On the bright side, the Toad Suck Daze event won't be a complete wash out like it normally is this time of year. Although keep in mind, if you plan on running the 5k/10k Tadpole Trot you're in for some brutal weather conditions ahead.
