Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Arkansas...

1146 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025

.DISCUSSION...

A period of dry weather will be broken with a line of showers and
thunderstorms Saturday afternoon and evening. Models are still
disagreeing on exact timing, but most are concluding that portions
of OK and TX could start seeing rain by 2-3pm. Rain chances remain
high through the evening and into the overnight hours, which will
keep RH`s elevated. There is also a marginal risk of flash
flooding with this rainfall, which could limit burn operations in
the days following if it comes to pass.
