HOW ABOUT BECOMING A WEATHER WATCHER?
If you're in Arkansas, we need weather watchers!  If you're in Madison, Searcy or Stone Counties, you can be the FIRST cocorahs.org weather spotter on the map.  Recent rains have gone unreported and weather trackers and researchers nationwide need your valuable rainfall reports. 

Of course, if you're anywhere else in the Ozarks... you're welcome to join the free weather tracking network.  Read more here.

WARM AND WINDY WEEKEND

After a day in the 70s yesterday we can expect much of the same through the weekend. Sunny skies will continue for this Saturday as temperatures warm all the way into the mid 70s. Compare that to our average high near 60 degrees. The winds will not go unnoticed today with gusts from the south.

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

Mostly clear conditions are expected overnight with lows in the mid 50s. Similar weather is forecast for Sunday with highs in the mid 70s and a lot of sunshine. Temperatures look to stay unseasonably warm on Monday near 70 degrees. A few more clouds could cover some of our sky at that point.

FRONT BRINGS CHANGES

Then a cold front is expected to move through the region early on Tuesday. With it there is a slight chance for some light rain early in the day but it does not look too promising. Temperatures will be cooler behind the front with highs only in the upper 50s which will likely feel chilly to us when actually it is much closer to average.

NICE DAY FOR CELEBRATIONS

Skies clear and temperatures warm by Veteran's Day. Our next cold front is forecast for Friday. Again with this one there is a slight rain chance as highs only warm into the upper 50s to end the workweek.

October Highlights

RECORD-SETTING OCTOBER
You knew it was colder and wetter than normal, but did you know it ranked in the Top 10 for most parts of the Ozarks, especially Arkansas?

There are places in central Arkansas that have already exceeded their record YEARLY rainfall with two more months of precipitation possibilities.  Impressive, to say the least.
