Record Heat Sweeps Northwest Arkansas | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Heatwaves are hitting Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley hard—Fayetteville tied a 1954 record at 104°F, while Fort Smith soared to a new all-time high of 109°F, breaking a 90-year-old mark by 4 degrees. Both cities are on fire: Fayetteville’s had seven 100+° days this year (five in a row), and Fort Smith’s racked up 21 such days—with 15 straight. Tomorrow could be even hotter, with Fort Smith possibly hitting 110°F. After a slow-moving storm front brings relief, temperatures will dip into the 90s in Northwest Arkansas, but Fort Smith’s triple-digit streak may last another week. Stay cool, stay hydrated—especially if you’re in Fort Smith. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
