Arkansas Weather Update Little Rock Pine Bluff Jonesboro and Texarkana See Widespread Rain With Storms Shifting East Tonight

ARKANSAS — A much-needed rain event has delivered across most of the state, bringing widespread precipitation from Texarkana to Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Monticello, and up toward Jonesboro as storms gradually shift eastward.

Radar trends show that a large portion of Arkansas has already picked up steady rainfall, with heavier pockets moving through the southern and southeastern parts of the state.

Rainfall Delivers Relief Across Arkansas

This system has been significant for many communities, with:

• Widespread rain coverage across central and southern Arkansas
• Steady rainfall impacting cities like Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Monticello
• Additional showers extending northeast toward Jonesboro

For many areas, this rainfall has been long overdue, helping ease dry conditions that had been building.

Stronger Storms Focused in Southeast Arkansas

While much of the state saw moderate rain, southeast Arkansas remains the primary area to watch for stronger cells.

Key areas include:

• Monticello
• Pine Bluff
• Areas near the Mississippi River

In these regions, storms could still produce:

• Brief heavy downpours
• Gusty winds
• Isolated stronger storm activity before moving out

Storms Moving East Through the Evening

Current radar indicates that the system is progressively shifting eastward, with rain and storms expected to:

• Continue moving toward Mississippi and the Tennessee Valley
• Gradually exit Arkansas later tonight
• Leave behind clearing conditions overnight

This means most areas will see improving weather conditions by late night.

Clear Skies and Pleasant Easter Sunday Ahead

Once this system exits, Arkansas is set to experience a much calmer and more pleasant stretch of weather.

Forecast trends suggest:

• Dry conditions returning statewide
• Comfortable temperatures
• A favorable setup for Easter Sunday outdoor plans

This transition from rain to sunshine will be noticeable, especially after today’s widespread wet conditions.

Final Outlook

Arkansas has just experienced a statewide rain event that brought relief and beneficial moisture, with the last of the storms now shifting east out of areas like Little Rock, Pine Bluff, and Jonesboro.

A few stronger storms may still pass through southeast Arkansas this evening, but overall conditions are expected to clear out completely tonight, setting the stage for a quiet and pleasant Easter Sunday.
