Weekly Wrap Up: February 24, 2018 #ARWX

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week brought endless rain to the Natural State. I even used the “recommendations” feature on my personal Facebook to ask where I could pick up an ark, as some people in Arkansas need one! Today also brought a round of Severe Weather to Arkansas with flood and Flash Flood Warnings to Central Arkansas, as well as a Tornado Warning in the Greers Ferry area. A Flood warning is still ongoing throughout the state. Here’s a look at this week’s rain totals on my CoCoRaHS rain gauge, a look at rain totals since midnight from Earth Networks weather stations, and Doppler radar rain estimates from the past 24 hours (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the current high-res Arkansas Radar and regional high-res radar, as well as FutureScan for 10:05 PM. The rain is moving out of Garland County and slowly moving through the state.

Here’s a look at the temperatures over the past week on my Earth Networks weather station. We saw upper 70’s this week! It didn’t feel like winter! Temperatures are finally on their way down and getting closer to what we’d expect for February. Here’s also a look at the current conditions from my Earth Networks weather station, as well as temperatures across the state this evening from both Earth Networks and NWS weather stations.

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs. More rain on Monday and Tuesday with highs in the 60’s for the most part.

Finally, here’s a look at some interesting weather news from the past week. In next week’s Weekly Wrap Up, I’ll also feature some of the top blog posts from our contributors over the past week:

Weekly Wrap Up: February 17, 2018 #ARWX

It’s Saturday and time for another Weekly Wrap Up! This past week saw rainy weather across the Natural State, as well as a “taste of Spring” with warmer temperatures across Arkansas for a couple days before wintry temperatures settled back across the state. Here’s a look at the rainfall totals from my CoCoRaHS gauge over the past week.

Here’s a look at temperatures this past week from my Earth Networks weather station. We saw 75 degrees on Saturday! It was an interesting brief preview of Spring, and it certainly didn’t feel like Winter weather!

Here’s a look at current conditions outside on my Earth Networks weather station, as well as a look at the regional high-resolution radar and a look at the current temperatures across the state (both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations). Here’s also a look at rainfall totals since midnight across the state from Earth Networks weather stations, as well as a look at doppler-radar rainfall estimates from the past 24 hours. (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs. Another taste of Spring headed to the Natural State this week with temperatures in the lower 70’s decreasing to the 50’s then swinging up into the 60’s. The rainy week we had this past week won’t be letting up next week with chances of rain all next week for Hot Springs (A word of note: I’m now getting the forecast data for the majority of the forecast from Baron Threat Net, with the Friday night low and Saturday’s forecast from Earth Networks ENCast. The combination helps to deliver a more overall accurate seven day forecast).

Finally, here’s a look at this week’s interesting weather news over the past week. Another piece of weather news to report was a major earthquake hit Mexico earlier this week, followed by an earthquake which hit part of the UK (hopefully Harry Hayfield will have more information to report on the UK earthquake):

Weekly Wrap Up: February 10, 2018 #ARWX

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week’s Weekly Wrap Up will also be brief since I am still transitioning over to another computer and am working off of two machines at the moment. This week’s weather brought a couple of rainy days to the Natural State, along with temperatures mostly in the 50’s to 60’s for the highs. Here’s a look at this week’s past temperatures from my Earth Networks weather station, as well as this week’s rainfall totals from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge. You can have a look at last week’s report to see how well last week’s seven day forecast temperatures compared with this week’s actual temperatures.

Here’s a look at the current conditions on my Earth Networks weather station, as well as a look at temperatures across the state this evening (both from NWS stations and Earth Networks weather stations, maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the current high-res radar for the state. A few minor showers this evening, but nothing severe. Parts of Northwest Arkansas are under a Winter Weather Advisory.

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs, in which Thursday-Saturday seems to bring a return to the rain for the Natural State.

Finally, here’s a look at this week’s interesting weather-related news:

Weekly Wrap Up: February 3, 2018 #ARWX

Welcome to another Saturday Weekly Wrap Up on WeatherTogether.net. Due to my working on transitioning to another computer, this week’s Weekly Wrap Up will be a little brief. Last week saw temperatures in the 50’s to 60’s, dropping to the upper 40’s as the week wrapped up. The main difference from last week’s forecast is the rain chance on Thursday didn’t pan out (it remained dry in Hot Springs). During the rain event for January 27 I mentioned in last week’s report, my CoCoRaHS gauge received .83″ of rainfall. Here’s a look at temperatures over the past week from my Earth Networks weather station, as well as a look at the current conditions.

Here’s a look at temperatures across the state from both NWS weather stations and Earth Networks weather stations. We’ve also had a few sprinkles of rain across Arkansas today, but not enough to be a major weather event. Here’s also a look at today’s rain gauge totals from Earth Networks weather stations across the state (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs, Arkansas. Temperatures will primarily be in the 50’s for highs, with rain chances on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.

Finally, here’s a look at weather news over the past week:
