Winds will shift from the southwest to the northwest this evening as a cold front blows through. Winds behind the front will be gusty from the northwest tonight around 30 mph. The wind shift will add an extra challenge to fire fighters combatting any fires that do occur today. Tonight will also be chilly in the mid-30s.

Saturday will be seasonal for early March in the low 50s and upper 40s. Winds will remain breezy from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph with skies becoming sunny. We’ll experience a freeze in the upper 20s Saturday night and Sunday will be milder in the mid-50s with skies becoming cloudy.

Back-to-work weather will come with warmer temperatures and cloudier skies on Monday. Showers Sunday night may make for a damp start to the day, but overall, Monday looks dry and mild.

Thunderstorms are possible with a storm system on Tuesday. This is a spring storm system that will likely bring a risk of severe storms to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. There will be some wind energy and instability in the Ozarks to monitor, and a few severe storms can’t be ruled out locally Tuesday into Tuesday evening.

Colder air will wrap in behind Tuesday’s storm, and clouds may be tough to clear out. Wednesday may also start out with misty showers and falling temperatures early in the day without a lot of recovery during the afternoon. Sunnier skies will return Thursday with a morning freeze followed by a cool afternoon.
