All right. Again, we're tracking a tropical storm Francine. It is moving north through Mississippi, heavier rainfall. The strongest winds are gonna be with the, uh closer to the center of the storm here in what is left of the eye wall. Uh, these thunderstorms again, the closer you get to the core of the storm, that's where your strongest rain and winds uh will be but still plenty of tropical moisture and tropical showers expanding way out from the center of the storm. It's going to continue to move off towards the north here through the day, really starting to slow down over the next 24 hours by tomorrow morning. It'll be just on the south side of Memphis and then it's really gonna stall out here, kind of try to rain itself out before shifting off towards the southeast and back across Mississippi and Alabama Saturday into Sunday. For us, we've seen tropical moisture increase in the lower and mid levels of the atmosphere of the last couple of days. And we've seen that turn into some rainfall across the arc latex region as we've into the overnight hours area of low pressure kind of developed here it's overall been weakening. So I'm trying to kind of uh collapse on itself but some of those showers expanding a little further north along the Arkansas and Oklahoma state lines. And again, as Francine comes in, the brunt of the activity will say well to the east of us, but we're likely going to see some of the tropical moisture break off and move out towards the west and we'll get some scattered bands from Francine. We'll have cloud cover around from Francine as we go through the day and we'll even have some of that humidity, higher humidity from Francine as we go through the day. All right, a little closer. Look here where the rain's been a little steady light to moderate rain across the Hebner area of to Poto Paola, Leflore County into Scott County, western areas of Sebastian County. Been seeing some steady light showers here for the last couple of hours. We've seen that band of rain spread up near Fort Smith, west side of Van Buren and then along the state line through Sequoia County up to Delaware County and we're looking at our next band of rain trying to come in the Russellville area, moving towards Johnson, Logan counties. We'll see if they can hold together some light showers just off towards your east. Even some sprinkles through Delaware County, Westville up to SOM Springs, got a few tropical sprinkles there. Future track radar overall. Doing a good job again. The brunt of the activity stays to the east. I do think we'll likely have a few more bands. Probably work through a little bit further west than what you're seeing. But bottom line, some scattered showers will be best along our eastern areas. Madison, uh into Newton Johnson Logan, into Pope. Count these areas will have the best chance for some scattered showers from Francine over the next 24 hours. We'll be watching it the further west you go, we'll likely see drier conditions. The further west you go, we'll likely see warmer conditions. Better chances for more lower eighties across eastern Oklahoma and then more seventies mixing in with some upper seventies, low eighties in our warmest spots of western and northwestern Arkansas. Again, you'll notice that humidity picked up for us yesterday. Still around with that tropical moisture spreading across all of our Arkansas and even into parts of eastern Oklahoma. All right. A lot of heat hanging around the next several days. We'll look for highs in the eighties for Northwest Arkansas temperatures in the low nineties in the River Valley that lingers into next week. Still looking at the possibility of the pattern trying to allow not this upcoming weekend, but the next weekend been hinting at it, talked about it a little bit the last few days, maybe another cool down trying to come some sort of a fall for. But again, it would be that next weekend if it can hold together
