ARKANSAS AREA WEATHER SUMMARY

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR

525 AM CDT WED MAY 02 2001



EXCEPT FOR A FEW HIGH CLOUDS IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...SKIES WERE 

MOSTLY CLEAR ACROSS THE STATE OVERNIGHT. EARLY THIS MORNING... 

TEMPERATURES WERE MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S. 



THE WEATHER PATTERN HAS REMAINED CONSISTENT IN ARKANSAS THE PAST FEW 

DAYS. HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST OF ARKANSAS HAS BEEN THE DOMINANT 

WEATHER FEATURE...KEEPING CONDITIONS MOSTLY DRY WITH STORM SYSTEMS 

DIVERTED TO THE NORTH AND WEST.  



TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN RUNNING A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN 

NORMAL...AND THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. ONLY 

ISOLATED AFTERNOON SHOWERS OR THUNDERSHOWERS ARE EXPECTED. 



BY THIS WEEKEND...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO ARKANSAS FROM THE 

NORTH AND WEST. MOISTURE WILL NOT BE ABUNDANT...BUT THERE SHOULD BE 

ENOUGH TO ALLOW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG 

AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. 



BEHIND THE FRONT...SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL BUILD INTO THE 

REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK.
