FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Spring break is here, and many schools and colleges are off this week. It’s the perfect time for a break, especially with the warming temperatures making outdoor activities even more enjoyable.

Average high temperatures in Northwest Arkansas this time of year are in the mid-60s, but this week, we’ll be running about 10 degrees warmer each day. Plus, the winds will be calmer compared to the breezy conditions we’ve had recently.

The wind will increase toward the second half of the week as the forecast gets active. The River Valley has a small chance for a stray shower or storm Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Besides that, the forecast should stay mainly dry through Thursday.

An active pattern will be in place Friday through the weekend. We have multiple chances for showers and storms.
The storm footprint looks to be more widespread than what we saw this past weekend. It is a ways out, but check out this system the ECMWF model has for next weekend.

The instability looks to be returning as well.

Whether you have the week off or not, I hope you get a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather in the first half of the week.
However, stay weather-aware as conditions could change later in the week.
