RECORD HEAT🥵 We could break a record Friday, tie one on Saturday and fall short of one on Sunday...

But regardless--It'll be HOT for the last weekend of fall! #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Check out this black vulture seen Thursday afternoon in Pope County!

Thanks to Anita VanRavensway for sharing this picture from Russellville. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

We're still tracking SOME relief as we head into the middle of next week... But in the meantime, we still have to deal with more intense late-summer heat.

This will come with more wildfire danger as humidity drops. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

I like the latest Euro for next Wednesday... Low 80s would be a DREAM!!!

Fall, is that you? 🍂 #ARwx #ARStormTeam

MORE DROUGHT😩 With little to no rain as of late, nearly 89% of Arkansas is in some level of drought... Much of which is considered extreme or exceptional!

We're not alone, though... Nearly 60% of the U.S. is in the same boat! We. Need. Rain! #ARwx #ARStormTeam

A stunning picture of crepuscular rays beaming across the evening sky Wednesday in Independence County.

Thanks so much to Joyce Williams for sharing this beautiful picture. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

NEXT WEEK👀 Models still show a cool front easing in here toward mid-week... But exactly when and how much cooler does it get? I'm cautiously optimistic.

Euro & GFS are both dropping temps only into the low 90s Wed/Thu. iCast has us in the mid/upper 80s. Still likely above avg. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Temperatures stay hot into the weekend. I've got the details on when a cool down could occur. #arwx #ARStormTeam

Thursday Morning QuickCast

We will probably set some record high temperatures before some relief arrives next week. Details on when the front is coming through are in the WebCast at kark.com/weather and fox16.com/weather and the #ARStormTeam app. #ARWX

HOT & DRY🔥 Humidity will drop quite a bit Friday and Saturday, enhancing the wildfire risk further as we approach the weekend.

Nearly all of AR is in a burn ban... And with this big drop in humidity, more counties will likely be added to the list. Do not burn these next few days! #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Another day of fighting the Bunker Fire this Wednesday afternoon in Calhoun County. Big thanks to all the first responders working hard to keep these people safe.

And thanks to Latrice for sharing this picture from East Camden. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

There are signs that a cool front will finally arrive by the middle of next week, easing the heat slightly into the first official days of fall.

But in the meantime, we're getting hotter and drier as we approach the weekend. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

THE HEAT CONTINUES🥵 There is some relief in sight in about a week... But for the next few days, it's looking hot and very dry!

This will only enhance our wildfire danger across the state. Right now the risk is high. It could be extreme by this weekend! #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Near 100° again this afternoon. I've got the rest of this week's forecast below! #arwx #ARStormTeam

Wednesday Morning QuickCast

Very hot today with that old Heat Advisory. Isolated thundershowers are expected in West AR. Some relief starts next week. Details are at kark.com/weather and fox16.com/weather and the #ARStormTeam app. #ARWX
