 visibility to a quarter of a mile or less

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 153 AM CDT Sat May 23 2026

n unsettled weather pattern will continue across the CWA and state
of Arkansas over the forecast period. The tandem of a series of
upper lvl shortwaves and an upper lvl approaching closed low toward
the end of the period coupled with a stationary boundary that will
remain draped across Arkansas for the forecast period will keep
chances for rain and isolated thunderstorms elevated over the
period.

The boundary will meander at times across the state and result in
higher POP chances across Arkansas for some days compared to others.
Each day will not be a complete washout, but elevated chances for
POPs will be present across the state over the forecast period,
widespread heavy rainfall chances do remain low. Although, any
rainfall which can be added to our statewide totals is overall
welcomed news given the drought scenario across Arkansas.

For the Memorial Day Weekend, a small window on Saturday (today)
will exist across northeastern Arkansas where POP chances will lower
and many location may fail to see appreciable rainfall or any at
all.

Looking at Memorial Day Weekend and continuing into the next
workweek, POP chances as advertised above will continue to be
elevated throughout the entire period. Total rainfall over the
period is forecast to range from 1 to 2 inches across the northern
half of Arkansas with isolated higher amounts; however, the rainfall
will be dispersed over the period of a week. Across the southern
portion of Arkansas, forecast total rainfall over the period is
forecast to be between 1.5 and 3.5 inches of total rainfall which is
anticipated to fall over the 7 day period beginning today.

Temperatures over this period will be near normal for high
temperatures, but given the rainfall and overall overcast cloud
cover conditions for much of the period, thus low temperatures
are expected to be slightly above normal.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 648 PM CDT Sat May 23 2026

Overall, MVFR to VFR conditions appear common across the state
right now with light to moderate showers possible through this
evening. With that said, some terminals could still see IFR
conditions with restrictions related to TSRA and/or low CIGs.
Improvements in flying conditions are expected tonight as rain
moves away from the area.
