Special Weather Statement issued March 27 at 2:24PM CDT by NWS Little Rock AR

Expires: Sat March 28, 2026, 7:00 PM

Widespread elevated to near critical fire danger is anticipated Saturday afternoon across the region. Afternoon relative humidities dipping into the 15-25% range combined with very dry fuels are the main concerns. While winds are not anticipated to exceed 10-15 mph, the very dry conditions and fuels will make it possible for wildfires to ignite and spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended. If a wildfire is observed, report it by dialing 911 or by contacting the Arkansas Department of Agriculture at (800) 468-8834.
