Clouds and rain throughout the day will keep temperatures slightly cooler than yesterday. Highs should be topping off in the low to mid 90s. The chance for having heat index values about 100 degrees is low.
Futurecast 10AM - Showers and thunderstorms begin to move into Northwest Arkansas by mid-morning.
