Weekly Wrap Up: March 16, 2019 #ARWX

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week was an overall nice week for Hot Springs, especially as the week inched closer to the weekend, although we did get a couple of storms during the week. The person who records the rain totals from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs has yet to hand me the rain totals for the past week, so I will attempt to include those in next week’s Weekly Wrap Up.

In the meantime, here’s a look at current temperatures across the state (from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations), as well as current conditions from Earth Networks weather stations across Arkansas this evening. My Earth Networks weather station is being replaced soon, and when it is back online, I will report back here and let the WeatherTogether community know (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. With the exception of Friday night and Saturday, it should be a dry week this week!

Finally, I wanted to share a graphic I produced of the peak wind gusts over 50 mph across Arkansas from Earth Networks weather stations during last Saturday’s severe weather event. As one can see, there were some intense winds that moved through the state. I’m also attaching a PDF of the peak wind gusts for all Earth Networks weather stations across the state during last Saturday’s severe weather event (the locations are a little cryptic since they go by Earth Networks Station ID, one can use WeatherBug.com to decode Earth Networks Station ID’s to determine the actual location names). I’m working to get a CSV file posted to this blog post as well. I wanted to provide this sample of weather data for those interested in viewing it, plus I wanted to demonstrate the power of the Earth Networks weather network in action. I also want to thank my colleague meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli for assisting with the collection of this weather data. If an organization needs trusted commercial weather data from the world’s largest weather networks and trusted meteorological consulting from a 24/7 team of meteorological experts, give Earth Networks a try today! Also check out the new EarthNetworks.com and see a preview of Sferic Maps showing live lighting and radar from the home page.

Update: here is the CSV file, as well as a ZIP version of the CSV file. Data same as the PDF, but allows readers to use it for analysis purposes.
