BEAT THE HEAT: Potentially Life Saving Advice

-
     Hey Everybody, how's it going! I know it has been a while since I made a weather update. Mainly because we haven't had any particular weather anomalies that has prompted one. But, I'm extremely concerned about people actually knowing, or practicing heat safety. I mean really, in the wintertime you dress in layers right? Why do we do that? Because it's cold and we don't want to freeze to death. Well in the Summer, why is it difficult to wear light, and few clothes, and drink water? In the winter on a 20 degree day, we dress in layers and drink hot chocolate. but In the summer on a 100 degree day, we cut grass at 3pm in the evening and fall out in the middle of the yard..... That doesn't make any sense!! IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTSIDE YOUR HOME In the Hottest parts of the day (12 Noon - 5pm) DRESS LIGHTLY, AND CARRY/DRINK LIQUID!!!!! Simple Instructions! If you're breathing hard enough to open your mouth and breathe, then you need a break!!
This is the Latest Run on the NAM ( North American Model) this image is valid between the hours of NOON and 3pm Tomorrow Afternoon.... 100 Degree's for central Arkansas. STAY INDOORS OR IN THE SHADE Until It cool down! Nothing is serious enough to be out in that Heat.
This is the NAM Heat Index Map. Heat Index is what it actually feels like outside to the human being, heat index factors in the air temperature, humidity, and different atmospheric conditions. All of those things combine to create a different SIMULATED temperature of what it feels like. 
So this is courtesy of The National Weather Service in North Little Rock there have been reports of moderate to severe drought conditions across North, East, and Central parts of the state. This means that burning stuff is prohibited by anyone that live in those drought areas. The wildfire dangers are very high in drought areas, so do NOT flick cigarette buds out or nothing like that. 

HEAT SAFETY IS EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY, if you have animals, do NOT let them out, leave them out, or feed them during the hottest hours of the day. CHECK ON THE ELDERLY.... If your house is smoking hot, you turn the air on, some older people don't have that kind of sense, or awareness. Heat safety is not an individual thing, it's everybody's responsibility to care for one another. Yes, there are chances for scattered showers during the evening time, they are often good downpours, and they will cool your area off if one move over, but those showers are VERY hit or miss, so don't bank on rain, especially if you're in a bigger city like Little Rock. 

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR KIDS AND PETS IN THE CAR!!!!!

     Hey everybody, I hope everybody is having a Fantastic night so far, and I hope everybody is safe. Over the last week, I've been watching a Storm System moving through tomorrow afternoon. The Main threats will be Limited Due to the timing of day, and the level of severity will be limited due to the lack of Instability. See Below.      This is a map courtesy of the National Weather Service in North Little Rock, as you can see here the Primary Threats will be Large Hail, and Damaging Thunderstorm Winds. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but are not likely.  This will not be a widespread severe weather outbreak. Mainly because this will come as two waves of moisture. The first wave of showers and storms will move through early in the morning on Thursday, SOME MAY BE STRONG. So for those getting up for work, and school, be aware of this. That first Initial wave will move through and leave lingering rain behind. This will cause cooling, and stabilize the atmosphere to keep Severe

     Hey everybody, how's it going! I hope you guys are having a good day so far. I know I haven't done any weather updates recently, haven't had much going on weather wise, and I'm in the middle of a busy work week, so I just haven't had time to do anything. But I'm making time today, because we have a storm system coming in overnight tonight, and into tomorrow morning. So lets take a dive into it aye.     As far as Timing goes, It's looking like Late this Evening in Oklahoma, Later tonight in West Arkansas, and moving left to right across the state during the Overnight Hours. So for Central Arkansas 12-2AM would be a good bet, and East Arkansas 2-7AM would be a good bet.     As far as what the threats are, well mainly due solely to the timing of the night this will move in, the MAIN threats are Hail, and Damaging Straight Line Winds. At First this was expected to move in during the Evening hours, and that raised some Tornado Concern among Meteorologist,
