Weather Summary
Kari Kiefer
Weather Underground Forecast for Saturday, May 26, 2012.

Subtropical Storm Beryl formed late Friday off the Carolina Coast and is expected to move slowly southwestward over the weekend. The storm may maintain tropical storm strength as it approaches the northeast coast of Florida later Sunday night. The storm itself may dump a significant amount of rain on this part of Florida and adjacent areas of Georgia, potentially good news to an area that is currently in an exceptional drought.

The main weather feature over the nation will be a low pressure system moving off the Rockies and into the Plains on Saturday. Flow around this system continues pushing a warm front eastward, over the Plains and through the Midwest. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms to develop along this frontal boundary, from the Northern and Central Plains through the Great Lakes. Some of these storms will turn severe with strong winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall. Severe thunderstorms are most likely over Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. By Saturday evening, the tail end of this system will reach the Northeast, bringing lighter and more widespread showers and thunderstorms to the region.

The back side of this broad low pressure system will continue pulling cool air in from Canada. This will allow for rain showers to turn to snow showers at the highest elevations of the Northern Rockies, Intermountain West, and Central Rockies. At the same time, strong and gusty winds will persist for the southern side of this system. In combination with warm and dry conditions, this will maintain high fire danger for the Southwest and Southern Rockies.

Special Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:40 PM CDT on May 25, 2012

Hot and humid conditions will continue across the natural state this
Holiday weekend... as high temperatures will climb into the lower to
mid 90s. Across eastern Arkansas... some locations may reach into the
upper 90s. While heat index values are not to expected to climb
above the century mark... the combination of high surface moisture
and abnormally warm temperatures will produce dangerous conditions
for anyone outdoors for prolonged periods during this Holiday
weekend.

People should be prepared to deal with the affects of this prolonged
period of hot weather. Follow the basic rules of heat safety to keep
from becoming overheated. Drink plenty of water... wear light
colored... light weight clothing... and avoid strenuous activities
during the hottest part of the day. Take frequent breaks and be sure
to put on sunscreen to limit the potential for sunburn. Make sure
pets have plenty of fresh water.

In addition... with abnormally dry conditions in place... there are
several counties under a burn ban. This includes much of north
central Arkansas. Caution should be exercised with any outdoor
burning this weekend.
