We are expecting dangerous heat to build throughout the duration of the week. It will be imperative, especially as we near the middle of the week, that any location lacking electricity and/or access to air conditioning will be at a greater risk for heat-related illnesses.
High Temperatures and dangerous heat index values will increase for the duration of the week across Arkansas.
• The most concerning days for heat-related illnesses will be on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday where both the air temperature and dewpoint temperature will increase.
• The reason will be a warm front lifting through the state on Wednesday leaving a more moist airmass across the state in its wake.
