Weather Blog: Weekend Outlook
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA)— With a rainy weekend last week, will we have another Seattle-like weekend? This Weather Blog has the answers! Tomorrow will be a FANTASTIC Friday. After a system has pushed through Thursday, high pressure will fill in, clearing the skies for a bright and sunny day across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley. Morning lows will be in the mid-50s, and high temperatures will reach around the mid-to-upper 70s. Winds will be out of the North to Northwest throughout the day at 5-10 mph with gusts up to 15 mph. Skies will start off with plenty of sun, but by the afternoon, high clouds will roll in, accompanied by some low and mid-level clouds that will increase in the evening. Overnight Saturday into Sunday, a few showers and storms are expected at times from 10 pm until 5 am Sunday. There is no severe weather threat at this time. Temperatures in the morning will hover in the mid-to-upper 50s, with high temperatures between 71-76°. Winds will likely be out of the West to Northwest around 5-10 mph. The radar should be quiet by sunrise, however, there will be mostly cloudy skies in the morning, turning into partly cloudy by midday. Because of all the cloud cover from overnight, morning lows will be in the low-to-mid 60s. Enough sunshine should warm us up into the mid-80s across the region. Winds will be light and variable.

Weather Blog: Severe weather likely over the next few days
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Subtle spin in the atmosphere with plenty of upper-level support will likely lead to multiple rounds of rain and storms with several chances for severe weather over the next several days. This weather blog has what you need to know to stay weather-aware. You've probably heard us say this a time or two, but when the general flow of the atmosphere is out of the southwest, it becomes a real struggle for models. What that means is it will be hard to pinpoint the exact timing and placement of these storms. Also, with southwest flow, models often underestimate the intensity. There are a few days when severe weather could be possible across Northwest Arkansas. The main threat would be isolated supercells capable of producing hen egg (2″+) sized hail. The time frame is from about 9 am until 5:00 pm. In the late morning it will likely be one or two cells whereas in the afternoon, we could see a few supercells. Here's what one model is outputting. This won't be exactly what happens, but the general idea of an isolated threat in the morning, followed by another round in the afternoon, mainly east of I-49. Let me preface by saying we're still a good ways out, so timing could still shift a little bit, but our next batch of subtle energy will be moving in, leading to more rain and storms Saturday night and throughout Sunday. I think the severe thunderstorm threat stays just west of here, but could have a few storms get close to that severe criteria. The main threat again seems to be very large hail. This far out, it doesn't make much sense to show a future track, as the solutions will change from run to run between now and then. Monday is the beginning of the large-scale trough starting to swing in. As of now, all the ingredients for severe weather potential seem to come together. I think the main threat, once again, would be large hail. We will still have some fairly subtle flow, but there will be support from the jet stream. We will have a lot of divergence or spreading out of winds aloft, so that means converging of the winds at the surface, which means some pretty explosive thunderstorms. Things could change dramatically if the energy swings in earlier or later. Similar to Monday, plenty of fuel and upper-level support for severe storms, however, we will also have the strong lift coming in sometime Tuesday. We will keep a close eye on how things evolve and how models are performing over the next few days. We DO NOT have an Alert Day right now, but just know it has got our attention.

Weather Blog: Spring break forecast
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Spring break is here, and many schools and colleges are off this week. It's the perfect time for a break, especially with the warming temperatures making outdoor activities even more enjoyable. Average high temperatures in Northwest Arkansas this time of year are in the mid-60s, but this week, we'll be running about 10 degrees warmer each day. Plus, the winds will be calmer compared to the breezy conditions we've had recently. The wind will increase toward the second half of the week as the forecast gets active. The River Valley has a small chance for a stray shower or storm Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Besides that, the forecast should stay mainly dry through Thursday. An active pattern will be in place Friday through the weekend. We have multiple chances for showers and storms. The storm footprint looks to be more widespread than what we saw this past weekend. It is a ways out, but check out this system the ECMWF model has for next weekend. The instability looks to be returning as well. Whether you have the week off or not, I hope you get a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather in the first half of the week. However, stay weather-aware as conditions could change later in the week.

Weather Blog: Fire Weather Warning to start the workweek
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Red Flag (Fire Weather) Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for portions of our area for Monday 11:00 AM through 10:00 PM. As of Sunday evening northwest portions of the coverage area were included in the warning. Even if your county isn't in the warning, fire weather conditions are still a concern. This map is subject to change and other counties could be added. Another map that is subject to change is the Arkansas Wildfire Danger with burn bans map. The whole forecast area was in high wildfire danger as of Sunday evening. Fire weather conditions are expected to get worse on Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if more counties issued burn bans for Monday. All the ingredients are coming together for Monday. We have the drought for some areas along with dry air and gusty winds. This will allow for any fire to grow and spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged in these conditions. We have been talking about Monday, but the winds will not decrease until Thursday. South southwest winds might even be stronger on Tuesday, but the relative humidity is not expected not be as low. This is why we are not in a Fire Weather Watch for Tuesday. This could also change, because the models could be making the relative humidity to high. Our next storm system will move through on Wednesday. Rain chances do not look very promising, however the winds will be very strong. This combination could prolong our fire weather threat.
