Amazing shots of this morning's dense fog seen from the top of Pinnacle Mountain west of Little Rock!

Big thanks to Mike Ingram for sharing this incredible perspective! #ARwx

SATURDAY🌤️ It's going to be warm, but models are suggesting perhaps a few sprinkles may show up later in the afternoon and evening.

That chance is very low, though... So don't change your plans. Just don't be surprised if you see a brief shower. Better rain chances return next week. #ARwx

Foggy sunrise this morning in Malvern!

Thanks to Lorraine Otwell for sharing this pic. #ARwx

NEXT WEEK🌧️ Some decent rainfall is on the way... But only for parts of the state! Your best chance of seeing at least 1 inch of rain through next week exists north and west of I-30/I-57.

The good news? Models do hint at more rain down the road. We certainly need it! #ARwx

Here's something we haven't seen in a while... A rainbow! 🌈

Thanks to Jimmy Porter Jr. for sharing this picture from the Little Rock Clinton National Airport. #ARwx

Incredible shot of a pileus cloud, which looks like a contact lens at the top of a towering cumuloniumbus cloud associated with last night's storms in Central Arkansas.

Thanks to Ronnie for sharing this picture along I-630, looking east from Midtown Little Rock. #ARwx

I was so honored to emcee last night’s WTS Arkansas Gala, presented by Garver!

Congratulations to this year’s award recipients and scholarship winners! It was a great night celebrating the people helping to keep Arkansas connected. #WTSArkansas

Along with the much-needed rainfall came some small hail... Enough to cover the ground near Quitman.

Thanks to Sidney Carlton for sharing these pictures. #ARwx

Areas of small hail seen this afternoon with thunderstorms rolling through Faulkner and Cleburne Co.

Thanks to Roy Walls for sharing this picture from Quitman. #ARwx

WOW😲 Believe it or not, there are a few patchy areas of snow still lingering in the shadows in Cleburne County a month after the winter storm!

I guarantee these patches would all be gone if we had gotten more rain in recent weeks. Thanks to Amanda McMahan for sharing these pics. #ARwx

NEXT WEEK🌧️ The pattern appears to become somewhat unsettled next week, perhaps bringing some much-needed rain chances to--at least parts of the state.

As of now, amounts look low for Central AR... But northern & NW Arkansas could get some decent rain! Stay tuned for updates. #ARwx

THIS WEEKEND🏃 The forecast looks pretty good for all races associated with the Little Rock Marathon this weekend.

Saturday morning will be the coolest for the 5K and 10K with temps in the upper 50s. Clouds gradually increase Sunday morning with temps in the lower 50s. #ARwx

Another halo around the moon tonight as high clouds move in over much of Arkansas.

19 YEARS AGO🌪️A tornado outbreak spawned 14 tornadoes across the Ark-La-Miss region, including 5 in southeast Arkansas on February 24, 2007.

The strongest of these was the Dumas EF-3 tornado, which was on the ground for 29 mi. Nearly 40 people were injured, but remarkably.. No one was killed! #ARwx

Another stunning shot of this evening's sunset, this time over Yell County.

Thanks to Barbara Smith for sharing this great pic. #ARwx

WE NEED RAIN🌧️ The drought is about as dyer as it can be, especially considering we are nearing the growing season.

Here's a look at how much rain we need in the next 2 months to end the drought by summer: About 10-20 inches! The best chance of improvement is in NE Ark. where we need it most. #ARwx

This utility pole appears to have snapped in the high wind associated with the blizzard in the northeast!

Another gorgeous shot of this morning's sunrise... This one has a lot more pink in it!

Thanks to Kenneth Howell in Pine Bluff for sharing this perspective! #ARwx

NEXT RAIN CHANCE 🌧️ It’s not much, but we’ll take every bit we can get! A few light sprinkles could move in Wednesday night, with scattered light showers Thursday morning.

A cool front will move through quickly and dry us out in the afternoon, so amounts will be limited. #ARwx

Can you imagine digging yourself out of this!? Looks like at least a foot, perhaps nearly two feet, of snow near Groton, CT!

Thanks to Terri Pretty for sharing these pics. #ARwx

So many beautiful, mind-blowing pics of the heavy snow that fell in New York City Sunday night into Monday.
