Arkansas Storm Team Forecast: Triple-digit heat here to stay
Heat Advisories are out for much of the Natural State through at least Thursday morning, July 2. Communities like Little Rock, Conway, Pine Bluff, Russellville, Benton, Fort Smith, Batesville, Searcy, Stuttgart, and Jonesboro are under this advisory.
Triple-digit heat index values are here to stay for the last few days of June and into early July in Arkansas.
Monday and Tuesday feature dry skies and a lot of sunshine. Saharan dust may decrease air quality and cause a haze in the sky these days.
Summertime, isolated pop-up showers and storms are back in the forecast as this dust eases off the region. Not everyone will see rain, and it’s likely to bubble up in the afternoon and evening with the heat of the day. Anything that pops up won’t last for long, but could be strong given the amount of heat and humidity present. Wednesday, July 1, and into the holiday weekend, keep eyes and ears to the sky, just in case. When thunder roars, head indoors.
