Memphis, Tenn. – A steady surge of early-season warmth is expected to build across Arkansas and western Tennessee, bringing above-normal temperatures and generally dry conditions heading into early April.
According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, the 8-to-14 day outlook from Friday, March 27 through Thursday, April 2 shows a strong signal for above-normal temperatures across the region, with near- to slightly below-normal precipitation expected.
In Arkansas, including Little Rock and Jonesboro, daytime highs are expected to climb steadily, with warmer afternoons becoming more consistent. Areas along I-40 and I-30 may see temperatures rise efficiently under extended periods of sunshine.
Across western Tennessee, including Memphis and Jackson, similar warming is expected, with highs trending above seasonal averages. Urban areas may hold onto warmth longer into the evening hours.
While isolated showers cannot be ruled out, widespread rainfall is not a dominant signal during this period, keeping overall conditions relatively dry.
Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, monitor changing conditions, and take advantage of the warmer spring pattern while remaining mindful of increasing dryness.
This pattern is expected to persist into early April, with additional updates likely as temperature trends evolve.
