The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted the entire area for the threat of severe storms Tuesday afternoon.
Temperatures over the weekend will start a slow warm-up before a more rapid warm-up early next week. Highs will be unseasonable warm in the low to mid 70′s setting the stage for a round of winter-time severe storms.
Most of the area continues in either a severe or extreme drought as we start the new year. A soaking rain mid-week will help start to put a dent in those drought conditions.
We are tracking a cold front that will arrive Monday afternoon sparking showers and storms. Some of the storms Monday afternoon and evening will be strong to severe.
Round 3 of showers and thunderstorms will take aim at the area once again late Wednesday night into the early hours of Thursday morning.
Rain falls remains below average in Northwest Arkansas and around average for the River Valley and Eastern Oklahoma. Is a drought around the corner with the hot and dry weather setting into the area?
