    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.

    ARKANSAS, USA — We are just getting into severe weather season, and our first potential system is arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. We first alerted you about the potential when we got a rare Day 6 Outlook this past Thursday. Since then, we have been following the latest model updates, and this system continues to trend more towards the north, keeping Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley out of the highest area of risk. WHAT DOES THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER THINK ABOUT THIS?

That's a bit better! The first of two cold fronts this week has moved through! You can feel a difference across Northwest Arkansas, not as much in the River Valley. The second cold front comes in by the end of the week, and by the weekend it's going to feel amazing! #arwx https://t.co/rIjNv4N9Vc
