LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Meteorological fall here in Arkansas is eight days away, and this final week of August will offer a nice taste of fall.
Thanks to the northwest flow, in the upper atmosphere, a few disturbances will move through and trigger a few opportunities for rain. This will likely help remedy our increasing drought and wildfire risk.
What should I expect?
A cold front moved through the state on Sunday, and that cooler, drier air is filtering in at the surface. However, in the upper atmosphere, a disturbance will move through on Monday into Tuesday. This will encourage spotty to scattered rain showers. Afternoon temperatures on Monday could reach the low 80s, but they will stay in the 70s on Tuesday.
We can expect some sun and clouds on Wednesday, so this will help afternoon temperatures warm to the low and middle 80s…
