Arkansas under moderate risk for severe weather

What the month did

April 2025 was the 16th-warmest April in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 53.6°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 51.8°F (+1.7°F).

April 2025 was the 31st-wettest April in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 2.9in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.7in (+0.2in).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

The same weather pattern continues for yet another day with a strong trough digging into the U.S. Southwest with a ridge over the Eastern U.S. together forcing a tremendous deep layer moisture feed out of the Caribbean and Gulf.

A stalled frontal boundary remains draped across the Plains into the Ohio River Valley with warm, humid air mass to the south primed for heavy rain and thunderstorms later in the day.
