HUMIDITY WAS ELEVATED AND A LITTLE WIND WAS TOSSED IN AS WELL.

THE HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN AVERAGING AS
MUCH AS 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...THANKS TO STRONG HIGH

EVEN WARMER...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES FROM THE LOWER 90S TO NEAR 105
DEGREES. FOR TONIGHT...LOW TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY FALL INTO THE
LOWER TO MID 70S.

AT THE 9 PM HOUR...SKIES ACROSS THE NATURAL STATE WERE CLEAR AS THE
HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS LOCKED IN. TEMPERATURES REMAINED IN THE 80S
ACROSS THE STATE WITH SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 5 TO 10 MPH.

THE WEATHER MAP AT THIS TIME SHOWS A WEAK COLD FRONT OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE STATE ON THURSDAY.
THE FRONT MAY TRIGGER A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EASTERN AND
SOUTHERN HALVES OF ARKANSAS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT ON FRIDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL GO FROM ABOVE NORMAL TO NEAR SEASONAL...WITH HEAT
INDEX VALUES NOT QUITE AS HIGH. EXPECT SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES LATE IN
THE WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL
