A BREEZY COOL DAY AHEAD!
In the wake of a night filled with severe thunderstorm watches and warnings as well as a tornado watch and multiple warnings, we’re looking at a windy and dry day ahead. Wind chills will be in the 30s for a chunk of the day. A hat will feel nice on the ears!
Our high temps for the day likely have already occurred. Fort Smith hit 70 degrees around 3:00 AM and Fayetteville hit 64 at the same hour. Most everyone has experienced a 20 plus degree temperature drop with this system. Thus far all storm reports have been for hail and high winds. In fact hail as big as 1.75” in diameter or golf ball size was reported in Newton County this morning.
Yesterday, nationwide there were 14 Tornado reports, 9 wind reports and 91 hail reports. It will be interesting to get the totals for today’s event.
