northwest Arkansas. Limited severe potential along with a heavy rain threat
exist Friday into the weekend. The majority of the shower and storm 
chances begin to move out of the region early next week. However,
a slight chance of storms remains into the middle part next week 
ahead of a ridge of high pressure building over western and 
central United States.

Hot and humid conditions also continue Friday and Saturday with
heat index values of 100 to 105 degrees common. Temperatures cool
slightly for Sunday into early next week, though heat index 
values could still approach or exceed 100 degrees at times for 
parts of the region.
