Weekly Wrap Up: June 30, 2018 #ARWX

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!

Here’s a look at some interesting weather news from Earth Networks over the past week:

  1. A very faint multicolored shadows of the three crosses as though the setting sun were shining on them from the West with one layer of green as the top color. A rising sun from the East would have shadow colors of fire, whereas the setting sun would have soft pink, blues and purples..inclement weather in shades of gray.
