              Hey Everybody! I hope everything is going well with everyone, and I hope everybody had a safe Thanksgiving and Black Friday Holiday! The weather was pleasant on Thanksgiving, was a bit on the cool side Thanksgiving night, I saw some sprinkles in spots around Central Arkansas, but nothing else remarkable, which was good. The Weather Models have flopped a little bit regarding this upcoming Winter Weather situation that I cover in my previous Weather Update.               Now 2 days ago, I made an update sharing my predictions based on the GFS Weather Model. In that update, the GFS noted Freezing Temperatures in Central Arkansas Monday-Thursday of next week. Over the last few Model runs, the GFS and EURO have both warmed up on Wednesday, and both models are consistent on Mid - Low 30s Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday Mornings of next week. At first there were some talks about the Possibility of ...

        Hey everybody, and Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everything is well with everybody, and all is safe! Enjoy your Holidays, and Black Friday shopping. It's officially time for our first Official Winter Weather Update of 2020! I'm sure this year this is Winter Weather Update #1 out of Many this season, and I'm sure most of them will be Temperature related, I don't think we'll have much in the way of Consistent precipitation, but we'll definitely be freezing! Speaking of Freezing Temperatures, that's what this Update is about. Some Weather Models were hitting at a chance for some wintery mix in certain sections of the state in the wee hours Monday Morning, I do not think it's impossible, but I don't think it's likely either.              So about the upcoming chance for freezing temperatures. The temps have already dropped fairly low in certain areas of the state already thus far this season. But here in Central Arkansas, we h...

          How's it Going everybody!? I hope all is well, and everybody is staying safe out there! Here in Arkansas as some of you know, we have Two primary Severe Weather Seasons. We tend to see Severe Weather mors commonly in the transition months when the atmosphere transitions from Cold to Hot, Hot to Cold. The Transition of the atmosphere tends to create a lot of instability with frontal systems that move through, unstable climate conditions create lot's of "Wind Shear" (Turning of the Wind with Height,) thus giving incoming storm systems the leverage to rotate, or produce lot's of Severe Thunderstorm force winds. It's not uncommon here in Arkansas for us to see Tornadoes on Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Halloween is usually cold, and damp, but Thanksgiving and Christmas isn't uncommon to have Tornado Sirens and Lightning around here. So that being said, we are only just a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving, and here we have today, November 14th, 20...

        GoodMorning, Evening, and Night friends, family, and followers! Thanks' for coming here to the Arkansas Weather Hawk's Blog today! I appreciate everybody's continuing support! In this post I'm going to breakdown my expectations of this Fall leading into this Winter! As if the Year 2020 couldn't get crazy enough with everything else going on in the world, the Weather decided to join the Purge too! Arkansas weather like everything else in 2020, has been on strike, and protesting! We have had 44 Tornadoes so far as of October 2020, our yearly average is 33.... So there's that! We started off the Fall Season with Severe Weather, and will likely finish off the Fall Season with Unusually Dry Weather! Let's break this down!             So about Halloween 2020, I expect this cooler trend in the temperatures to continue. I was looking over previous runs of the GFS (Global Forecasting System), I've been seeing a warming trend in day...

      Hey Everybody, I hope all is well, and Everybody is remaining safe, and alive, and well amidst this very irritating time in everybody's lives. I been Getting a Lot of Questions recently about future chances for rain, or anymore relief from the Daytime Arkansauna that we've been having... Well, there's good news, then there's bad news!       Now for the Good News about any type of relief from the "Arkansauna" as I like to call it. At night, over the weekend, the Nighttime lows will be in the Low 70s. I know Low 70s isn't necessarily "Relief" when it's been nearly 100° all day, but anything is better than 100° temperatures right!? And, More Good News for certain areas of the state, there will be scattered hit or miss rain showers in areas of West, South, and North Arkansas. I don't expect much widespread rain or thunderstorm coverage.       Now for the Bad News! Over the Weekend, and next week the Actual Air Temperatures will creep V...

        Hey Everybody, how's everything going!? I hope well so far! This has been a smoking hot summer, so far I've seen 100° temperatures on Two Separate days in West Little Rock this summer! Not too bad for an Arkansas Summer, but it's been fairly dry this summer except for some brief break in the heat from the Tropics earlier in the Summer. But, now in what seemed like a never ending stretch of baking hot days in July, at the end we get some relief!      Due to a Stalled out Frontal that will hang up over the Arkansas/Missouri Border, we will get scattered Showers, and Storms that will bring us a much needed break in the heat! Between now and August 1rst the National Weather Service expects the Northern 1/2 of the state to receive anywhere between 1-3inches of Rain, some spots more, some less. It's not much, but I'd take some over none! South Arkansas will get something, so don't feel left out if you Live down South. But Central, and the North ...
