MILD & SHOWERY

The map displays forecasted rain totals by 00z Saturday. Disclaimer: Forecasting rainfall totals that are largely a product of convection or t-storms is a difficult undertaking for both machines (computer model) and humans. With that being said, we could and will very likely have some spots within our area that will be threatened by localized flooding. As we’ve been mentioning, any one t-storm can drop an inch of rain. Make that a slow mover, and that amount exponentially increases.

Please use extreme caution over the next few days. Don’t become a statistic! Remember to “Turn around, don’t drown”

The series of cut-off features that have been a part of our weather pattern over the past several months have kept us on the cool side with clouds and precipitation. Comparatively, Fayetteville has only topped 85 F ten times this year versus twenty nine for last and Fort Smith has only topped 90 F five times in 2007 as compared to twenty eight last year, by this time!
