Happy Mother’s Day! We’ve had a few scattered showers across the state today, and those will continue into this evening, especially in eastern and central Arkansas, as a slow-moving low pressure system lingers nearby. While most of the rain will remain light, a few storms could become briefly strong, with the potential for small hail or gusty winds. The overall severe risk remains low, but we’ll keep a close eye on any isolated storm development.

Scattered showers continue across southeastern Arkansas this Mother’s Day weekend, thanks to a lingering low-pressure system bringing in moisture from the Gulf. A few showers will continue tonight in southeastern Arkansas and may drift toward central parts of the state by early tomorrow morning. These showers will be hit-or-miss, some could be briefly heavy.

As we head into the latter part of next week, signs are emerging that unsettled weather may develop across Arkansas, particularly on Friday, May 16 and Saturday, May 17. While it’s still early, guidance continues to hint at the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms, depending on how the system evolves. ECMWF 12Z model run which is valid May 17, 2025 shows lightning flash density over parts of Arkansas signaling the potential for strong storms.
