Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week saw some rain and thunderstorms in the Natural State, with temperatures still warm and muggy, but not quite as intense as it has been previously (although we were under a Heat Advisory one day this week). Here’s a look at rain totals from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs this past week.
Here’s a look at the current Arkansas Radar (showing a storm track in South Arkansas), a look at exclusive Earth Networks Total Lightning with PulseRad (not traditional radar), as well as a look at the 1 hour FutureScan radar, a look at temperatures across Arkansas (both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations), as well as a look at current conditions from Earth Networks weather stations around the state this evening, finishing up with a look at rain totals from across Arkansas for the past 24 hours (maps and images courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).
Here’s a look at the seven-day extended forecast for Hot Springs. A few more rain chances this week!
