.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 142 AM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

To begin the period, a ridge of high pressure continues to build
back over the region. Sinking air over the state will diminish
any chances for rain through the middle of this week. Although,
some afternoon thunderstorm chances cannot be completely ruled
out.

The biggest threat will be the dangerous temperatures and heat
index values. For Monday and Tuesday afternoons, it is possible
many locations across the state reach 100 degrees with heat index
values much hotter. Heat headlines have been issued all across the
state through Tuesday afternoon with a mix of heat advisories for
southern and northern locations and an extreme heat warning for
eastern and central Arkansas and the AR River Valley.

An additional concern could be the lack of a recovery period
overnight where we could see multiple nights where locations
struggle to drop below 80 degrees. If you plan to be outdoors for
any reason this weekend and next week, make sure you have shade
to rest in, take multiple breaks, and drink plenty of water.
