SUMMARY: Meteorologist Chase Ward reports clear and chilly conditions this morning with temperatures in the mid-40s, and some areas near the upper 30s. The afternoon will warm up to the upper 60s and low 70s, with dry conditions and calm winds. There may be patchy frost in Southwest Arkansas and light fog in some areas. Tonight will be cool, with temperatures dropping to the low 40s, and some spots in Arkansas may see temperatures near 30°F. Highs will warm slightly over the weekend, but a rain system will bring showers on Monday and Tuesday, followed by cooler weather mid-week.

We are a tad chilly this morning with temperatures in the mid and lower 40’s. Winds will stay calm out of the north as high pressure keeps the skies clear. Winds will shift southerly by tomorrow allowing for some moisture to creep in throughout the day. Clouds will build by Sunday. A frontal system will arrive next Monday with chances of showers and thunderstorms. After the front passes, temperatures will drop to the lower 60’s and possibly upper 50’s for daytime highs by Thursday.

SUMMARY: Out of the 11 named storms this season, 11 have become hurricanes, but Tropical Storm Sara is not expected to strengthen much further. It will mainly bring heavy rain to Central America, particularly Honduras, and then move toward Belize and the Yucatan. Due to its proximity to land, further intensification is unlikely, though a brief window for strengthening exists if it moves away from the coast. The storm is expected to dissipate by Sunday, with no Gulf of Mexico impact, though its remnants may affect forecasts later next week.

Chief Meteorologist Chris Franklin says Tropical Storm Sara likely to dissipate this weekend on Sunday as it starts to move into the Yucatán.

SUMMARY: Tropical Storm Sara is expected to remain a tropical storm throughout its life, with limited development due to unfavorable conditions. It is located just off the coast of northeastern Honduras, with heavy rainfall expected in the region, especially in Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize, and the Yucatán Peninsula. The storm could cause mudslides and significant flooding. As it moves over land, it will lose strength and dissipate before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. While it may bring increased humidity and rainfall to areas like Florida, it is unlikely to reform or strengthen due to unfavorable water temperatures and wind shear.

Meteorologist Devon Lucie breaks down the latest track and forecast strength of Sara as it churns off the coast of Honduras and analyzes why it could still bring some impacts to Louisiana
