Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! it has been a scorching week in Arkansas this past week, with high temperatures in the triple digits in some areas, upper 90’s in other areas, and heat index readings well over 100. The good news is there could be a little relief this coming up this week with some rain chances on the way. Speaking of rain, here are the rain totals for the second half of this month from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs.

There is a Heat Advisory and Excessive Heat Warning for parts of the state this evening. Here’s a look at the warning map, plus a look at current temperatures across the state this evening (from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations) and high temperatures (from Earth Networks weather stations) from today (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at current conditions from some Earth Networks weather stations across Arkansas this evening, including a few in Garland County (images courtesy of Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs showing our rain chances and still somewhat high temperatures this week, but a little relief is in sight!

Quick poll for readers of my weather reports. One of my weather tools (Baron Threat Net) allows me to use either light or dark backgrounds for the base maps. For now, I’ve been using the light background for my base maps. I’m including a sample of light and dark backgrounds for base maps. Which one do you like better, and which one would you rather me use in my weather reports? Post your response below in comments!

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This Weekly Wrap Up is a “Double Feature” discussing the past two week’s worth of weather due to the Weekly Wrap Up Summer Break last Saturday. Last week saw some severe weather move through the state on Friday and Saturday (in fact my Internet was slightly impacted due to the severe weather event). Parts of Garland County experienced power outages, but thankfully, we didn’t experience any power outages.

This week brought mostly warm weather and little rain to the Natural State. Here’s a look at rainfall from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs for the month of June so far.

Here’s a look at current conditions from Earth Networks weather stations across Arkansas, as well as a look at temperatures from across the state from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations.

Beautiful view from my Earth Networks HD Camera in Hot Springs this evening, and some clouds moved in and out as evening sat in! (Images courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).
