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):

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.

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:

• Earth Networks rolled out a subscription service for businesses, providing them access to the entire suite of Earth Networks weather services

It’s Saturday and time for another Weekly Wrap Up! Sunday brought a major severe weather event to the Natural State as mentioned in last week’s report. Garland County was under a Tornado Warning for a brief time, and Faulkner County did encounter an EF1 tornado with some tornado damage to the county. This morning also received a nice dumping of rain across the Natural State. The rain total from my CoCoRaHS gauge during today’s event will be posted in next week’s report. Here’s a look at the rest of the rain totals from my CoCoRaHS gauge over the past week, as well as a look at rain gauge totals from across Arkansas from Earth Networks Sferic Maps.

Temperatures this past week were close to what was forecasted in last week’s report, give or take a few degrees warmer or cooler. Here’s a look at the current temperatures this past week from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs.

Here’s a look at the current conditions on my Earth Networks weather station this evening, as well as a look at my Earth Networks HD weather cam from earlier today showing some stormy clouds across the sky this evening. Here’s also a look at temperatures across Arkansas this evening on both NWS weather stations and Earth Networks weather stations. Here’s also a look at the current high-res radar across the region. Northeast Arkansas is also under a Dense Fog Advisory this evening, so here’s also a look at visibility across North East Arkansas (maps courtesy of Earth Networks Sferic Maps and Baron Threat Net).

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs. Sunny for most of the week, partly cloudy for Friday and Saturday, and a 50% chance of thunderstorms for Thursday. Temperatures will start out around 60, then remain around 50, then increse to close to 60 again before dropping to the mid 40’s and mid 50’s.

To conclude, here’s a look at this week’s interesting weather news. I also mentioned I’d be posting an image to see what work of art I best resemble, but I had issues with the Google app getting it to load, so it seems unfortunately I won’t be sharing that this week!

It’s another Saturday and time for another Weekly Wrap Up! This week brought frigid temperatures to the Natural State, as well as about one inch of snow to Hot Springs (and real snow instead of only ice this time!). My CoCoRaHS and weather station rain gauges froze over during the winter event, so no measurable rainfall (I reported a trace of rain for January 15 along with the one inch of snow). Temperatures for the most part were close or spot on to last week’s seven day forecast, and here’s a look at the temperatures on my Earth Networks weather station over the past week.

Here’s a look at the current conditions on my weather station, as well as a look at my Earth Networks HD weather camera earlier today, plus a look at temperatures across the state and a look at the current high-resolution radar and satellite across the region (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Sunday evening will be showers and intense thunderstorms to the Natural State. Sunday evening around 10PM looks to be the time when the most intense of the severe weather will be moving through Hot Springs, Garland County, and Central Arkansas. Garland County could get up to 2″ of rain through this event although the rain totals will differ throughout the county. Here’s a look at both the Baron forecast model and WSI RPM model for the forecast radar and satellite and accumulated precipitation.

As of now, the SPC has a marginal risk for severe weather for parts of Arkansas for Sunday. If the situation intensifies, the SPC could upgrade the risk. Here’s the latest SPC Severe Outlook graphic.

Here’s a look at the seven day extended forecast for Hot Springs, Arkansas. There’s a 40% chance of rain on Sunday and a 40% chance of evening showers for Friday and a 50% chance on Saturday. Skies will be mostly sunny on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and sunny on Tuesday and Thursday. Temperatures will be in the lower to mid 50’s for most of the week, with lows in the mid to upper 30’s for most of the week.

Welcome to another WeatherTogther Weekly Wrap Up. Overall, temperatures were slightly warmer in Hot Springs this past week than what was forecasted in last week’s 7 Day Forecast (the data for the forecasts come from Earth Networks). Here is a look at temperatures from my Earth Networks weather station in Hot Springs, Arkansas, over the past week.

This week also brought rain for the first time in 2018 to the Natural State. In addition to rain, Thursday evening and Friday morning saw some wintry mixed precipitation and snow fall across  Arkansas, although not enough to form any major accumulation. Here is a look at the rain totals this past week from my CoCoRaHS gauge in Hot Springs, Arkansas, as well as a map of rain totals across the state on January 7 from CoCoRaHS.

There was a beautiful sunset tonight on my Earth Networks HD Camera, and here’s a look at the camera image as well as the current conditions from my weather station in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Here’s also a look at tempeatures across the state from both NWS stations and Earth Networks stations (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Monday evening could see a wintry mix in Hot Springs, as well as snow across parts of North Arkansas. Here’s a look at forecast precipitation and snow accumulation maps for the regional Baron forecast model and WSI RPM model for around 5PM monday showing which parts of the state could see the most snow. The snow accumulations seem light for most of Arkansas and not a major winter event.

Here’s a look at the 7 day extended forecast for Hot Springs, Arkansas. In addition to the 60% PM wintry mix for Monday, there’s a 30% PM chance for rain, and with a possible low of 9 degrees on Tuesday? Brrr!

Here’s one more look at the beautiful sunset on my weather camera in Hot Springs, Arkansas, this evening.

Tropical Storm Vinta impacted The Philippines this past week. I managed to get some news updates and pictures of Vinta’s impact on The Philippines courtesy of pastor Welnar Ayag over Facebook (he’s located in The Philippines), and I will include additional updates in upcoming blog entries if I manage to get any additional information to relay.

Here are a few Facebook posts of the tropical storm news pastor Welnar managed to send me:

Here are also a couple of news articles covering the tropical storm available here and available here (both are in a foreign language and will need to be translated into English in order to read them).

Lastly, here are some pictures taken by pastor Welnar of the flooding and impact of Tropical Storm Vinta as it impacted his area.

Our prayers go out to the people of The Philippines impacted by Tropical Storm Vinta, as it seems to be a horrible storm. I will find out if a text-to-donate option is going to be available in which to contribute to the victims of this severe weather event.
