Received a call of power lines down on a tractor this morning. Call originated in Lincoln County but ended up being in Desha County. Assisted Dumas with helping the driver off. No damage nor injuries.

Prescribed Burn today between Hwy 54 and Maplewood Road. Expect smoke in the Garrett Bridge area.

We saw that counties in SW Arkansas had signs posting the burn ban throughout their area a few weeks ago. Several of those who were caught burning during the last ban were unaware that there was a burn ban. We hope these signs help get the word out. Thanks to Scott Gilbreth and Freedom Graphics for the signs.

Stay weather aware this evening!

Our weather is about to change rapidly on Sunday, let’s talk about it.

This forecast has a BUNCH of moving pieces, let me break it down.

-Warm start to Sunday, but it’s fools gold.

-Storms develop tomorrow afternoon and could be strong/severe. Damaging winds, tornadoes and hail will be possible.

Damaging winds are the biggest concern.

-Everyone is windy tomorrow, nobody escapes that. Gusts up to 40-50+ MPH will be possible (non-storm related).

-It will be COLD behind the front, shock to the system style. Wind chills in the teens/20’s by tomorrow night.

Single digit wind chills possible across north Arkansas Monday morning.

-Planters, we will have a freeze possible on both Monday AND Tuesday, you need to prep cold sensitive vegetation tomorrow.

-I’m not able to rule out snow flurries overnight Sunday and into Monday morning.

Not a big deal, non-factor to the forecast, but worth mentioning just because.
