(Wednesday, March 21, 2012) Flash flooding remains a challenge for several areas in Arkansas including West Little Rock, Sherwood and Jacksonville. According to the National Weather Service, we should expect showers and possibly thunderstorms. They say some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Temperatures should rise to 66, with a southeast wind at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. The National Weather Service in Little Rock issued a flash flood warning this morning that will expire at 3:30p.m. today for the following counties:

After a few days of rain, the strong storm system causing our drenching finally moves off to our east. Expect a drying trend into the weekend, with cool seasonal weather for temperatures. Put the umbrellas away and break out the sweaters, because a beautiful Arkansas weekend is on the way.

Friday, January 27
Clearing skies on the morning commute will bring some brisk temperatures. The day will start out in the upper 20’s, but will warm up to 58 degrees, under mostly sunny conditions. Partly cloudy in the evening, overnight low around 34. A small disturbance causing the cloud cover will bring a very small chance of showers. It should be gone before you get up in the morning.

Above average temperatures continue to dominate our weather forecast. For most people, that still means it’s entirely too cold. In 59 days, spring will arrive, and that is just too far away. High pressure continues to keep our weather patterns on the stable side. As it slowly moves to the east, rain chances will increase and temperatures will come up slightly.
