Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week was another hot week for the Natural State, with a little bit of rain during the week. This morning, Hot Springs did receive a nice storm bringing over an inch of rain to the area (the official rain total will be in next week’s Weekly Wrap Up). Here’s a look at the other rain totals from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs over the past week.

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This week brought more hot temperatures and a few showers to the Natural State. It’s also the week I wrapped up my Summer intensive German course, and I look forward to jumping back into a typical routine next week (although the Summer German course was fun!). I’m hoping to also check back in with Earth Networks on getting my weather station back online so I can continue to send current observations again. Here’s a look at the rain totals we saw this past week from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs.

Here’s a look at the current radar from across the region, as well as a look at temperatures across the state (from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations), as well as 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). Parts of the state are under a Heat Advisory tonight as well.

Videos from Earth Networks Lightning Safety Awareness Week 2018 @EarthNetworks #ARWX

No Comments

A couple of weeks ago, Earth Networks produced a series of videos on Facebook Live for Lightning Safety Awareness Week 2018. These were a great series of videos from the team at Earth Networks (a company I do support and training consulting for) on the importance of remaining safe during lightning events. With lightning strikes recently killing an individual in Florida and Arkansas, as well as sparking a house fire in Arkansas, the importance of lightning safety awareness cannot be stressed enough. For those who have not had a chance to view the Earth Networks Lightning Safety Awareness Week 2018 Facebook Live videos, I’ve included a link to them here.

More information on the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network, the first of its kind to detect both in-cloud and cloud-to-ground lightning on a global scale, is available here. More information on the sensors that comprise the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network is available here. The Earth Networks Total Lightning Network also powers Earth Networks Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts and PulseRad Doppler radar alternative, and is available in Earth Networks services such as Sferic Maps, Sferic Mobile, Sferic Protect, and Outdoor Alerting System. Interested in putting the power of the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network to protect your organization? Contact the teams at Earth Networks today, and don’t forget to follow the Earth Networks Blog!

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!

Welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up! This Weekly Wrap Up is a “Double Feature” discussing the past two week’s worth of weather due to the Weekly Wrap Up Summer Break last Saturday. Last week saw some severe weather move through the state on Friday and Saturday (in fact my Internet was slightly impacted due to the severe weather event). Parts of Garland County experienced power outages, but thankfully, we didn’t experience any power outages.

This week brought mostly warm weather and little rain to the Natural State. Here’s a look at rainfall from my CoCoRaHS rain gauge in Hot Springs for the month of June so far.

Here’s a look at current conditions from Earth Networks weather stations across Arkansas, as well as a look at temperatures from across the state from both NWS and Earth Networks weather stations. Parts of Northeast Arkansas are under a Heat Advisory, and a few showers were picked up on radar earlier this evening. Here’s also a look at pollen counts across the state for allergy sufferers. Beautiful view from my Earth Networks HD Camera in Hot Springs this evening, and some clouds moved in and out as evening sat in! (Images courtesy of Baron Threat Net and Earth Networks Sferic Maps).

Here’s a look at seven-day extended forecast for Hot Springs. Rain chances are back this week! Highs mostly in the lower 90’s.
