Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week saw rain chances for the entire week in Arkansas, but Hot Springs only received two days of rainfall in the Lake Hamilton area. Here’s a look at the rain totals from this past week from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs.

A few showers north of Garland County tonight on Radar. Here’s also a look at temperatures across the state (from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations) and a look at current conditions from Earth networks weather stations across Arkansas this evening (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. More rain chances all week next week!

Finally, a quick admin note. The WeatherMallard domain is going to be permanently inactive this weekend, meaning anyone who was accessing WeatherTogether through the WeatherMallard domain will now need to directly type in http://weathertogether.net in order to access WeatherTogether. The WeatherQuack domain is still active through 2019. Most users who accessed the WeatherMallard or WeatherQuack domains have likely moved on to accessing WeatherTogether directly after the transition completed in December, but for anyone who might not have, heads up.

That wraps it up here! Nathan Parker signing off.
