Rain This Weekend


More wet weather along yet another cool front is expected to impact the area by Saturday afternoon. Expect showers and thunderstorm to develop and move through, moving clear of the area by Sunday morning. Rain totals look to be in the range of .25 to 1.00 inches.

It looks like a warmer and drier pattern of air will finally assert itself being on Monday.

Heavy Rains South of Springfield


A flash flood watch has been issued for areas of north-central Arkansas for tonight and early on Thursday.

An area of heavy rain and thunderstorms is forecast to slide ENE over this region during the period. Rainfall totals in central Arkansas could exceed 4" during this time. The portion of the watch within the viewing area is forecast to receive about 1-2" with locally heavier totals possible.

The rain will give us a break beginning later on Thursday, through Friday and perhaps until early Saturday. By Saturday afternoon, more storms slide in along yet another weak cool front.
