    Arkansas Weather March 5 Midday - Thunderstorms Starting 1 PM
    Mar 5 2026
    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.

    Mar 5 2026
    Good morning. Arkansas. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel 66 degrees. At dawn. That's 35 degrees warmer than early March should be. The overnight low? Also 66. The temperature never budged. In the next 24 hours. We're locked in a humid, stormy pattern. Showers and thunderstorms are already rolling through the northern half of the state. Up in Northeast Arkansas, thunderstorms dominate the morning — 80 percent chance. You'll hit 75 degrees by afternoon. Northwest Arkansas gets the same treatment. Storms through midday, then they ease off. Highs reach 71. Central Arkansas catches a slight break. Rain chances sit at 60 percent this morning, then storms fade. Highs surge to 79 degrees. That's just 35 degrees shy of Little Rock's record for today. Tonight, clouds part a bit. Lows only drop to the low 60s. And if you're out after dark, look up — it's a Full Moon. Friday brings round two. Strong to severe thunderstorms fire up, especially across western and northern Arkansas. Damaging winds and large hail are the main threats. Highs climb into the upper 70s to low 80s. We could break records. The weekend stays messy. Saturday brings more storms statewide. Sunday finally dries out with highs in the 60s and 70s. Looking ahead, another system rolls in Tuesday into Wednesday. More rain, more storms, then a real cooldown by midweek. Highs drop into the 60s with lows in the 40s. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Spring equinox is two weeks out. But today? Feels like we skipped ahead a month. If storms fire up near you tomorrow, have a plan. Charging your phone now beats scrambling later. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
