Arkansas Storm Team Forecast: Flood Watch Expands
We may have had a brief break from the rain this evening, but more is on the way, and that's why the Flood Watch has now expanded into portions of central and western Arkansas. Through Monday evening, an additional 3 to 5 inches of rain is possible across central Arkansas, with 5 to 7 inches not out of the question for parts of the north and northeast. While the severe threat remains low, some storms could still bring gusty winds and heavy downpours.
Tonight and into early Sunday morning, storms developing in Oklahoma will push into western Arkansas. On and off showers and thunderstorms are expected throughout Sunday and into Memorial Day, with brief dry periods possible in between.
The Arkansas Storm Team will continue to monitor the forecast as we head into the rest of the Memorial Day weekend.

Scattered rain and heat expected in Acadiana this week
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After a humid start to the day, temperatures warm quickly through the day reaching the lower 90s in the afternoon. A few storms will develop, but much of the area will stay rain-free today. Tonight, any rain comes to an end as temperatures settle in the 70s. Sunday will see similar conditions around the area with hot temperatures in the afternoon but there will be a better rain chances. Showers and storms should be more scattered in nature allowing for some cooling effects for Acadiana. In the tropics, dry air and wind shear continue to prevent any tropical development and no tropical activity is expected through the next 7 days. Locally, we will be watching an increase in rain chances next week as a weak cold front settles across the area. This will lead to widespread daily storm chances with some heavier rainfall possible towards midweek. The good news with the rain chances is that temperatures will remain cooler in the upper 80s for highs. Download the KLFY Weather App by clicking here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Staying muggy with some showers today
Typical Saturday–clouds and showers! It is a dry, albeit muggy start with patchy fog. We will see showers develop later this morning and continue through the afternoon. This will definitely affect some outdoor plans, so my apologies in advance. It will be cooler, but still humid with highs in the low 70s. At least Sunday will be drier! I don't think we'll see a lot of sunshine tomorrow since the clouds will drag their heels, but there will be some breaks and blue sky with lower humidity. I've introduced a few showers into the forecast for Monday. And of course, we are still tracking some afternoon thundershowers on Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday look like the best days of the week! Today: Cloudy with showers/storms developing late morning. Cooler, still humid. Highs in the low 70s. Tonight: Mostly cloudy with patchy fog. Lows near 60°. Sunday: Partial sun. Less humid, highs in the mid to upper 70s. Monday: Mostly cloudy with a few spotty showers. Highs in the low 70s. Tuesday: Mainly cloudy with a round of afternoon showers/storms. Highs in the low 70s. Wednesday: Brighter and warmer. Highs in the low 80s. Thursday: Nice and bright. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Friday: More clouds with a chance of showers. Highs in the low to mid 80s. Saturday: Watching for a chance of showers. Highs in the mid 70s. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
