FIRST ALERT WEATHER: Nice for 3 More Days
Good Thursday morning! We are currently enjoying a pleasant stretch of weather, with another sunny and warm day ahead. Yesterday’s cold front stalled over southern Arkansas but will lift northward today.
High temperatures will be around 70°, with occasional gusty winds coming from the southeast. Upper-level energy will pass just north of the area tonight, bringing a layer of high clouds.
The combination of south winds and cloud cover will keep overnight temperatures mild, with lows in the mid to upper 50s.
Weekend Weather Outlook
Friday will see a weak front move through, but temperatures will remain similar to today, leading into another pleasant Saturday.
Saturday evening, a much stronger cold front will arrive, bringing a north wind and a sharp drop in temperatures.
Sunday Conditions
Sunday will be significantly colder, with highs likely struggling to climb above 40°. Due to a powerful upper low pressure system forming just east, there is some moisture wrapping around, making a few snow flurries possible.
Early Next Week
By Monday morning, a broad area of strong high pressure will settle across the central United States. This will bring overnight lows down to the teens in some spots.
After Monday, a notable warm-up is expected during the following week, with no rain forecast for the next 10 days.
"Sunday looks dramatically colder, and highs could struggle to get much above 40°! A few snow flurries are possible."
Author’s summary: A warm spell continues for three days before a strong cold front brings much colder weather and possible snow flurries Sunday, followed by a cold start to next week and then a significant warm-up.
