Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest Arkansas...

National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1213 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025

.DISCUSSION...

Warm and breezy Saturday with a similar start this morning with
low clouds breaking by mid morning and generally SW winds early,
but not as gusty. In fact, an area of high pressure is settling
down the MS River Valley and will back directions on our winds to
SE by noon in S AR and further to E/NE as the front edges into
our far north. So maybe even a bit cooler afternoon in AR, but
more low to mid 80s elsewhere. Then, lighter SE winds will
continue area wide overnight with no rain to speak of along the
boundary. However, into Tuesday as the boundary lifts back
northward with a low developing in the plains, some showers and
isolated thunderstorms will be possible in our northern fringe of
Counties. Our winds come back around to the SW with some gusts
feeding into the plains states low. Meanwhile, the deep upper
trough will be moving into the SW U.S. and slowly headed eastward
with our expected rain chances for late week. We are still looking
at a good 1 to 3 inch event with highest totals along I-30.
