DISCUSSION

Issued at 1216 AM CST Thu Nov 5 2026

A nice Pacific air mass has cooled our temperatures and dried the air as this 1013mb air mass currently extends over all of the Four-State area. As such, our winds will be light and variable for much of the day ahead. We do see a secondary air mass diving out of Canada which will gather limited moisture over I-30 late tonight and early Friday morning with a few light showers possible, but more importantly fresh N/NE winds with even lower dew points.

So we will see our diurnal temps take a step back to below average for a nicer change for this coming weekend. This next continental air mass will bring a 1024mb core over the middle MS River Valley by early Saturday morning. So,our morning lows will see more 40s by Saturday and then areawide for Sunday with a few mid to upper 30s in our Arkansas counties closer to the core. The N/NE winds will keep the mercury below the room temperature average with many 60s for highs by Sunday and to start next week as well.

A warmer trend will follow slowly climbing back through the 70s. Lows will keep below average for much longer as nights continue to grow longer with lingering dry air. The pattern remains surface high pressure strong into midweek with a weakening upper low moving over Mexico and south TX. This feature will be riding under an upper ridge over the plains states and end up deepening again, but just no moisture in the wake of this weekend's air mass. /24/
