ARKANSAS, USA — Summer is fighting to hold on as we are entering the last week of the season. To end the week and into this upcoming weekend, high temperatures are climbing into the mid-to-upper 90s. Humidity is also climbing, which is going to force the heat index or what it feels like outside back into the triple-digits for some.
Thursday is when you'll really notice a difference outside with highs climbing into the low-to-mid 90s and heat index values anywhere between 90 and 100 degrees.
