A few gusty storms are pushing through Central Arkansas this morning, but will continue to weaken as they push closer to eastern Arkansas. We’ll catch a break with some clearing and humid conditions settling in this afternoon. Later this evening and into tonight, another round of storms is expected to develop. The overall severe threat remains low, but a few of these storms could pack gusty winds and heavy rain.

A hot and mostly dry stretch continues through midweek, but we are keeping a close eye on storm chances late Wednesday. While Tuesday and most of Wednesday will stay quiet with highs in the low 90s, things could change by Wednesday evening. A line of thunderstorms is expected to develop to our northwest and may move into parts of Arkansas late Wednesday and into early Thursday. Right now, the severe weather risk looks low, but a few storms could bring gusty winds, heavy rain, or lightning.

Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are possible across Arkansas today, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. While not everyone will see rain, any storm that develops could bring heavy downpours, lightning, and gusty winds, particularly in north central parts of the state. Make sure to keep an eye on radar if you have outdoor plans later today. Looking ahead, rain chances taper off by Tuesday, and sunshine returns midweek.
