4:18 PM UPDATE - Love that we're finally seeing some showers across the Ouachitas this evening!!

More rain will gradually move into central Arkansas through Friday morning, along with cooler temps. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Beautiful sunrise this Thursday morning over the Fairfield Bay area as we kick off the month of October.

Thanks so much to Kim Fairchild for sharing this pic. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

FINALLY🌧️ Be prepared for a soggy Friday morning drive... Most of central & NW AR will have some rain to start the day, becoming lighter by afternoon.

Unfortunately, many areas will miss out on the most beneficial rain. Much of this will fall in the NW part of the state. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Above average temperatures again today, but the weather starts to change tomorrow. I've got your latest forecast below! #arwx #ARStormTeam

Thursday Morning QuickCast

Hot today and a slim rain chance, but it picks up tonight. More on that and a cool down are in the WebCast at kark.com/weather, fox16.com/weather and the #ARStormTeam app. #ARWX

FRIDAY🌧️ Our best chance of rain will come Friday morning, perhaps lingering into the midday hours... Most of this will fall over central and northwest Arkansas, perhaps up to 3-4" in spots.

Meanwhile in southeast AR, amounts will be minimal. Then we dry out into the weekend. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Who's ready for morning temperatures in the 50s!?

It's in the forecast early next week across much of Arkansas... Both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings! #ARwx #ARStormTeam

We're kicking off our October with a little more heat... Afternoon highs on Thursday could be within a degree or two of a record high!

Then a cold front arrives, bringing better rain chances for Friday before turning cooler and gradually drying out for the weekend. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

We love a Delta sunset!! 🌅🚜

Thanks so much to Karen Robertson for sharing this picture from Winchester, located in southeast Arkansas in Drew County. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

FRIDAY & SATURDAY👀 The latest HRRR model is rather generous with rainfall coverage early Fri. morning... But even though some showers linger into Sat, it won't be near as much.

Some spots could see more than 2 inches of rain while others end up with less than a half inch. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

Absolutely insane... Little Rock reached 95 degrees this afternoon on the last day of September.

Lower 90s will linger into the first day of October just before rain chances return, easing the heat into the weekend. #ARwx #ARStormTeam

We have SPOONS! 🥄👀

Thanks to Carrie Porter from North Little Rock for sharing this picture of a persimmon seed she cut in half. According to folklore, that would mean we have a snowy winter ahead! ❄️ #ARwx #ARStormTeam

More heat is in store for the last day of September, likely locking this in as the hottest September on record for Little Rock!

Then the rain chances ramp up... Totals will be limited in spots, but we'll take any bit of beneficial moisture we can get! #ARwx #ARStormTeam
