WEATHER SUMMARY FOR ARKANSAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
525 AM CDT TUE MAY 14 2013

SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER TEMPERATURES REMAINED
QUITE MILD ACROSS THE NATURAL STATE. IN FACT...ELEVATED LOCATIONS
SUCH AS HARRISON AND MENA FAILED TO DROP BELOW 70 DEGREES AS OF 5
AM. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE STATE...READINGS RANGED FROM THE MID 50S TO
MID 60S FOR THE MOST PART.

TODAY WILL DEFINITELY BE MORE SUMMER-LIKE THAN WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN IN
RECENT WEEKS. CLOUDS WILL BE SPARSE TODAY AND TEMPERATURES WILL RISE
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S MOST EVERYWHERE. SOME SPOTS FROM SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MAY APPROACH 90...BUT MID TO UPPER 80S WILL BE
MORE COMMON. IT WILL ALSO BE FAIRLY BREEZY TODAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE
DELTA REGION OF EASTERN ARKANSAS.

THE WARM UP WILL BE CUT SHORT TOMORROW THOUGH. A DISTURBANCE WILL
APPROACH FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO SPROUT UP ACROSS THE STATE BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. INITIALLY THE
BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE IN WESTERN ARKANSAS BUT BY THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING MUCH OF THE STATE WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN. OFF
AND ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY BEFORE RAIN
CHANCES DECREASE MARKEDLY THURSDAY EVENING AS THE DISTURBANCE MOVES
EAST OF THE STATE.

RAINFALL AND CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES JUST BELOW NORMAL
FOR BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. READINGS WILL REBOUND FRIDAY AND
INTO THE WEEKEND HOWEVER...DESPITE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME GARDEN
VARIETY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY AS WEAK
DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE AREA. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO
LOW 80S FOR FRIDAY...WARMING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S FOR SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL LARGELY BE IN THE 60S.
