ARKANSAS — A warm and breezy Monday is on tap across Arkansas with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 80s statewide and wind gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph through the afternoon. Rain chances remain low for most of the state today, but that changes significantly heading into Tuesday when a more active storm pattern arrives. Texarkana leads the state at 90 degrees while the rest of Arkansas settles comfortably into the mid to upper 80s through the afternoon hours.
Texarkana and Southern Arkansas Lead the Heat With Upper 80s and 90 Degrees
Southern Arkansas is the hottest zone Monday with Texarkana reaching 90 degrees and El Dorado climbing to 89. Camden, Lake Village, and Monticello all sit at 88 degrees while Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Searcy, Stuttgart, and Helena round out the upper 80s across the central and eastern portions of the state.
Northern communities including Harrison and Mountain Home top out at 85 degrees while Fayetteville reaches 84, keeping the entire state firmly in warm and summer-like territory through the afternoon.
Windy Conditions With 20 to 30mph Gusts Expected Statewide Through the Afternoon
Beyond the warm temperatures, breezy and at times windy conditions will be a consistent feature across Arkansas Monday with gusts reaching 20 to 30 mph possible through the afternoon hours. These gusty winds will make the warm temperatures feel more tolerable but could cause occasional nuisance issues for outdoor activities statewide.
Low rain chances persist through most of Monday keeping conditions mostly dry across the state despite the breezy pattern.
