Issued at 226 PM CDT Sat May 24 2025

To begin the period, calmer and drier conditions are expected to
prevail through the evening hours as much of the state sees a brief
break in the heavy rainfall before another couple rounds impact the
state Memorial Day Weekend.

The next system is expected later Saturday night into Sunday morning
bringing once again the chance for heavy rainfall that could lead to
flash flooding. Some of these storms could pose a severe risk with
damaging wind gusts being the primary threat. Additionally, Sunday
afternoon and into Monday another round of heavy rain will be
ushered into the state under this unsettled weather pattern. If you
have any outdoor plans, please remain weather aware this weekend and
have multiple ways to get warnings!

After the already heavy rain that fell across portions of the state,
the ground is saturated and any additional rain could lead to the
threat of flash flooding. Currently NW AR will see the highest,
additional, rainfall totals through Monday night with three to five
inches possible. Elsewhere, we could see an additional two to three
inches across portions of central and western Arkansas with southern
Arkansas seeing up around two inches of additional rainfall.

In addition to some unsettled weather...temperatures are expected to
be average to slightly above average through the period. High
temperatures will vary across the state due to the increase of
clouds expected across northern and central locations. These
locations can expect high temperatures to be in the upper 60s to mid
80s with southern locations in the mid 80s to lower 90s.
