Rainy week ahead in Northwest Arkansas, River Valley: Here's what to know
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — An active pattern brings several chances for rain across the region throughout the week.
A straight west-to-east upper-level flow, known as zonal flow, brings multiple 'shots' of upper-level lift, which in turn bring rain chances for several days this week.
In the early morning, there's a good chance some showers could clip northeast Oklahoma and southwest Missouri.
So, mostly cloudy skies are expected to start, but by early afternoon, skies will start to cloud up, with rain chances dramatically increasing in the evening around 8 p.m. Severe weather is in the forecast, with the main threat being strong winds and hail.
This subtle flow weather pattern could bring a few light showers early in the morning. By midday, some more showers and storms are expected.
We are still a ways out, so some timing and coverage will change.
More shortwave troughs move in to bring rain and storms throughout the day.
Through Saturday, 1-3 inches of rain are expected with locally higher amounts of 3-5″ possible. Almost every day, there will be some rain in our weather coverage area.
