In addition to the rain Arkansas is receiving today that I mentioned in the seven day forecast in my Weekly Wrap Up on Saturday, parts of the state may also receive some wintry precipitation in addition to the rain. Here’s a look at the high-resolution current Arkansas Radar, where Northwest Arkansas can already possibly be seeing a wintry mix picked up on Snow Machine (most maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net).

Some parts of the state are under a Winter Weather Advisory, with some under a Lake Wind Advisory and Northeast Arkansas under a Winter Storm Warning.

Here is also a look at the Baron forecast model and WSI RPM model for 11PM when Garland County has the best chance of possibly receiving wintry precipitation tonight.

That wraps it up here! Nathan Parker signing off.

I hope everyone has a blessed and Happy New Year in 2018! 2017 was an exciting year for WeatherTogether with me and my fellow bloggers from WeatherQuack.com joining the WeatherTogether team and merging under them. I look forward to what’s in store for 2018 and excited to see where 2018 takes WeatherTogether. Thanks for continuing to read all our blog reports and for being a part of WeatherTogether.

It’s freeze in the New Year across much of the nation, including Arkansas. Here’s a look at our current temperatures, plus we’re under a Wind Chill Advisory across the entire state and Fayetteville and Fort Smith experienced a little wintry precipitation earlier today (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here are the latest conditions from my PWS (image courtesy of WeatherBug). It’s currently 21 outside this evening.

And it’s only going to get worse as the night goes on. Here’s a look at the future temperature map for 5:00 AM from the Baron forecast model and 5:30 AM from the WSI RPM model.

We may all be wanting to say in 2018, “Make America Warm Again”. 🙂

That wraps it up here! Have a great New Year in 2018! Nathan Parker signing off!

On behalf of the WeatherTogether admin team, I want to wish all my fellow contributors and readers of WeatherTogether a blessed and Merry Christmas! It has been an exciting year for WeatherTogether, as well as the integration of WeatherQuack.com’s content under WeatherTogether to expand WeatherTogether’s contributor footprint both nationwide and globally, as well as giving readers a balance between weather reports served up fresh daily in addition to the expanded coverage of major weather events. Our team of contributors has dramatically increased over the year, as well as we’ve been making some great progress on webcams and models additions to the site as well. I look forward to seeing what’s in store for 2018!

Here in Arkansas I personally didn’t get a White Christmas yet, but it seems some parts of the state are. Here’s the latest look at Arkansas Radar with Snow Machine showing snow across North Arkansas, and 1 Hr FutureScan showing it’s going to linger around for a bit. If anyone in Arkansas is seeing snow or wintry precipitation, let me know (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net).

Here’s a look at temperatures across Arkansas, both from NWS stations (map courtesy of Baron Threat Net) and Earth Networks weather stations (map courtesy of Earth Networks Sferic Maps). Here’s also a look at the current conditions on my Earth Networks Personal Weather Station (image courtesy of WeatherBug), as well as a look at my Earth Networks HD Cam outside my home showing a beautiful view of the sky this evening. Remember you can also view my HD Cam at any time right here.

For those traveling across the region this evening, here’s a look at the current satellite/radar across the region (image courtesy of Baron Threat Net).

For a little Christmas fun and enjoyment, here’s a look at the current conditions at the North Pole (well, the North Pole in Alaska since I don’t think Santa owns a weather station yet. To my colleagues at Earth Networks, can we make that happen before next Christmas?). Here’s also a look at the current conditions in Nazareth, the hometown of Jesus, as I also didn’t see a weather station directly in Bethlehem yet (maybe another place we can add a weather station to before next Christmas?). I’m also including a map of the current temperatures across Israel so you can get a glimpse of the weather stations across Israel (current conditions graphics are from WeatherBug, Israel temperature map is from Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

And for a final Christmas enjoyment, here are a couple of images from the Accordance Bible Lands PhotoGuide of the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem. What a beautiful sight and one to enjoy on Christmas!

That wraps it up here! Have a blessed and Merry Christmas! Nathan Parker signing off!

Arkansas received quite the downpour yesterday! While there wasn’t a major severe weather event (except for a Flash Flood Watch and some Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings, as well as a Winter Weather Advisory in Northwest Arkansas), Arkansas did receive a major share of much-needed rain, as well as some intense rumbles of thunder during the event.

Here’s a look at rainfall over the past week according to my CoCoRaHS gauge here in Hot Springs, Arkansas, as well as a look at CoCoRaHS totals across the state from yesterday’s event.

All clear here tonight across Arkansas. Here’s a look at temperatures across the state both from NWS stations (map courtesy of Baron Threat Net) and Earth Networks weather stations (map couresty of Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Quick admin note: WeatherQuack.com’s content officially finished merging under WeatherTogether.net as of today. WeatherQuack.com and WeatherTogether.net are finally completely together at lat. WeatherQuack.com will be shutting down as a separate website next week, with WeatherQuack.com forwarding to WeatherTogether.net until the domain expires. We’re excited that the merge is complete, and we look forward to what is in store for us in 2018!

Arkansas is in for a stormy evening bringing in some much-needed rain to the Natural State. Here’s a look at current Arkansas radar (images courtesy of Baron Threat Net).

Here’s a look at the 1 hour FutureScan for Arkansas Radar at 8:50 PM.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving today and fills up plenty on delicious turkey with all the trimmings! I am thankful to be blogging on here, and I am thankful to be a member of the WeatherTogether contributor and admin team and am thankful to all my fellow contributors at WeatherTogether. Our weather is absolutely perfect for Thanksgiving today, and I am thankful for this beautiful weather! Here’s a look at current temperatures across Central Arkansas (map courtesy of Baron Threat Net) and a look outside on my HD weather cam (which you can also view on the WeatherTogether website by clicking here).

Coming up as soon as I and the rest of the admin team finish wrapping up a few additional projects with the WeatherQuack merge under WeatherTogether, I’m planning on launching a weekly blog series on here on Saturdays called my “weekly wrap up” with a look back at the last week’s weather, a look forward to the next week’s forecast, and a roundup of the week’s weather news I’ve encountered. It should be a ton of fun, and I look forward to bringing it to you coming up!

That wraps it up here! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Nathan Parker signing off!

Hi everyone! I’m Nathan Parker, one of the contributors and administrators here at WeatherTogether. From everyone on the WeatherTogether team, I want to say welcome to WeatherTogether, a community in the clouds. I hope you enjoy your time here reading our weather reports and blog articles, and we would all love to have you register for a free account on this site to join the WeatherTogether contributor team and give us weather reports from your neighborhood.

Many of you likely remember me from my time at WeatherBug. I served as a blogger for the WeatherBug Backyard Blog since 2008 and was one of the administrators of the WeatherBug Community since 2009, until it was shut down after the sale of the WeatherBug brand to GroundTruth late last year. I still handle IT consulting for WeatherBug’s former parent company, Earth Networks, and I am still actively involved in the weather community, and I will be regularly blogging about Arkansas weather here. I was also the President/CEO of Mallard Computer, Inc., and WeatherMallard until October of 2017 when I decided to shut down the company to focus on an upcoming PhD program in Systematic Theology. During my time at Mallard Computer and WeatherMallard, I launched WeatherQuack, a weather community blogging platform in which its content will be fully merged under WeatherTogether by the end of 2017. I have also completed a M Div in Biblical Languages from Luther Rice College and Seminary in May of 2017.

I am excited about the future of bringing the team of contributors from the former WeatherBug Community and WeatherQuack under the WeatherTogether family, and I look forward to seeing where this new merge of weather communities takes us. I invite you to come along the journey with us.

Since this is a weather blog, I want to finish this introductory blog post with a brief weather report from the Natural State. It is current 46 degrees (F) on my PWS. A freeze warning is in effect for the entire state of Arkansas through tomorrow. Check out the graphics below for the freeze warning, as well as temperatures across the state (maps courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).
