Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week didn’t receive any rain, but the weather was hot, and we received a solid taste of what summer will feel like (yuck!). Next week looks to be another scorcher, although some rain chances are on the way around mid-week. Since I am still awaiting a weather station resolution, here’s a look at some Earth Networks weather stations from around the Natural State this evening (images courtesy of Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at temperatures across the state, both from NWS weather stations and Earth Networks weather stations, as well as a look at the pollen amounts across the state for the allergy sufferers in Arkansas (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at the seven-day extended forecast for Hot Springs showing the horribly hot week ahead!

Here’s a few interesting weather news articles from the Earth Networks blog this past week:

• Dust Storms in India Kill Over 100 in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan
• Earth Networks to Release 2018 Hurricane Outlook
• How Insurance Companies Use Weather Data During Hurricane Season
