 Good afternoon. Arkansas. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you're already sweating. We're sitting at 74 degrees with that thick, sticky air that makes your shirt cling. But here's the headline. Little Rock could tie or break a 1918 record today. That's 82 degrees, folks. In the next 24 hours. Central Arkansas tops out near 79 with partly sunny skies. Northwest Arkansas hits 71 under mostly cloudy conditions with a coin flip chance at afternoon thunderstorms. Northeast Arkansas reaches 74 with storms possible between 1 and 3 P.M. Tonight cools to the low 60s statewide under partly cloudy skies. Winds stay light out of the south. Friday cranks the heat even higher. Central Arkansas climbs to 82. Northeast Arkansas hits 78. Northwest Arkansas reaches 75. But here's where it gets serious. Severe weather potential builds through the afternoon and evening. Strong southerly winds gust to 30 miles an hour. Thunderstorms fire up Friday evening. Some could turn severe with damaging winds and large hail. Saturday morning brings widespread storms and heavy rain across most regions before noon. Rainfall totals could reach three quarters to one inch. Highs range from 65 in the northwest to 76 in central areas before temperatures drop behind the cold front. Sunday offers a break. Partly sunny skies return with highs in the upper 60s to near 70. Morning showers taper off early. Next week turns unsettled again. Monday through Wednesday brings daily thunderstorm chances, some potentially strong. Highs stay in the mid to upper 70s through Tuesday before another system drops us back to the low 70s by Wednesday. Enjoy the record warmth today, but keep Friday's severe weather on your radar. Have a plan and know where to shelter. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
