Hello Folks: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE......HIGH........LOW.........RAIN Dec..2..54F/12.2C..38F/3.3C...--- .......3..44F/6.6C...27F/-2.7C..--- .......4..42F/5.5C...20F/-6.6C..--- .......5..49F/9.4C...23F/-5.0C..--- .......6..41F/5.0C...36F/2.2C...0.20"/5.0mm .......7..40F/4.4C...38F/3.3C...0.25"/6.3mm .......8..39F/3.8C...33F/0.5C...1.00"/25.4mm
For the week of Dec. 2-8: Mena's Avg. Max.: 53.4F/11.8C; Avg. Min.: 32.1F/0.0C
This past week featured seasonably chilly temperatures with a prolonged rain event at weeks' end. A Pacific cold front came through on the 6th, and upper-level impulses passed along the frontal boundary--to the south of my area, in the N Gulf of Mexico--bringing cool, foggy, cloudy, drizzly/light rain conditions (with little temperature movement) for the 6th-8th. Such prolonged cold, damp & rainy conditions aren't good for my joints and not seeing the sun for a while tends to be a bit depressing after these prolonged times (Very Thankfully seeing sunshine today--Sunday). Overall Low-abt. 11:15PM-listed for the 27th; Overall High--12:01AM & Overall Low--abt. 11:15PM--listed for the 8th (as the Morning Low was 35F/1.6C & Daytime High was only 37F/2.7C--abt. 10AM). Forecast for upcoming week calls for a bit of a warm-up with the best rainchances to be for Thursday.

Fairly foggy with the light rain on the 13th. Overall Low-abt. 11:15PM-listed for the 9th; Overall High-12:01AM & Overall Low-abt. 11:20PM-listed for the 14th (as the Daytime High was a chilly & damp 51F/10.5C at the 7:15AM sunrise). Forecast for upcoming week calls for a mild warm up with the next shower chances & cool down for midweek. The weather--temperatures & conditions--is still not bad for this late in the year/season.

Hello Folks: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE......HIGH.......LOW.......RAIN 2017: Dec..30...44F/6.6C...31F/-0.5C..--- .......31...47F/8.3C...38F/3.3C...1.40"/35.5mm 2018: Jan...1...44F/6.6C...34F/1.1C...--- ........2...38F/3.3C...33F/0.5C...0.35"/8.8mm ........3...41F/5.0C...37F/2.7C...1.30"/33.0mm ........4...47F/8.3C...35F/1.6C...--- ........5...64F/17.7C..30F/-1.1C..---
For the week of Dec. 30-Jan. 5: Avg. Max.: 48.1F/8.9C; Avg. Min.: 28.0F/-2.2C
This past week featured a very chilly, damp & rainy start with a much warmer finish with plenty of sunshine. A Pacific cold front passed by on the 31st; A cold front boundary to our South with Upper-Level Lows conspired to give my area very cloudy, chilly & rainy conditions from the 2nd-4th (if it was a bit colder, my area would have received good amounts of Wintry precipitation). Overall Low-abt. 11:40PM-listed for the 31st. Forecast for upcoming week calls for warmer temperatures and then another cool-down, with showers (possibly with snow) later in the week.
Tuesday, January 1, 2019: Happy New Year! Conditions at 12:01AM at Mena's Intermountain Municipal Airport: Clear--no clouds below 12,000FT; Temp.: 35F/2C; Dew Point: 33F/1C; Visibility: 10 miles/16.1 kilometers; Wind: 270 (West) at 3MPH/4.8KPH; Barometer: 30.09"/1,018.9hPa

Hello Folks: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE.......HIGH........LOW........RAIN Jan...6..66F/18.8C..42F/5.5C...--- ........7..68F/20.0C..48F/8.8C...0.05"/1.2mm ........8..61F/16.1C..38F/3.3C...--- ........9..53F/11.6C..36F/2.2C...--- ......10..45F/7.2C...27F/-2.7C..--- ......11..39F/3.8C...35F/1.6C...0.40"/10.1mm ......12..43F/6.1C...38F/3.3C...0.50"/12.7mm
For the week of Jan. 6-12: Mena's Avg. Max.: 48.0F/8.8C; Avg. Min.: 27.0F/-2.7C
This first full week of 2019 featured (again) early-week warmth, followed by a much cooler finish. The passage of a couple Pacific cold fronts (Southerly-tracking Low-pressure)--on the 7th & 12th-- brought the shower activity. The 11th & 12th were especially showery, damp, chilly & murky with a cold East wind & little temperature movement. Overall Low--abt. 11:30PM--listed for the 7th (as the Morning Low was a balmy 55F/12.7C); The Maximum on the 11th was at 12:01AM & abt. 11AM. Any Wintry precipitation (sleet, freezing rain, snow) was somewhat N & NW of my area. Still holding out hope for a good snowdump in my area before Winter comes to an end. Forecast for upcoming week calls once again for recovering temperatures with good shower chances & another fair cool-down by later in the week. (I'll be soon enjoying ESPN's coverage of the Australian Open Tennis tournament. Wish I was in Aus-land and enjoying warmer conditions & longer daylight times).

Hello Friends: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE.......HIGH........LOW........RAIN Jan..13..38F/3.3C...32F/0.0C...--- .......14..37F/2.7C...33F/0.5C...--- .......15..47F/8.3C...30F/-1.1C..--- .......16..50F/10.0C..40F/4.4C...TRACE .......17..54F/12.2C..36F/2.2C...--- .......18..57F/13.8C..31F/-0.5C..0.10"/2.5mm .......19..57F/13.8C..24F/-4.4C..0.02"/0.5mm*
*=Rain equivalent of .25"/0.6CM of snow
After a chilly start to the week, my area finally had a good taste of Winter on the 19th. A Warm front came through on the 18th, followed by a fairly strong Pacific cold front early AM on the 19th. The 19th was a day of falling temperatures, light sleet & snow, and very gusty & cold NW winds. At 1:35PM on the 19th, Mena's Intermountain Municipal Airport reported a temperature of 30F/-1.1C (cloudy) with NW winds at 24MPH/38.6KPH (Gusts of 35MPH/56.3KPH), giving a frigid Wind Chill value of 16F/-8.8C--DEF a great day to stay indoors. After a brief amount of sleet, light snow fell; I recorded .25"/0.6CM snow at my house (areas not far to my NW/W/N recorded higher snowfall amounts; 3-4"/7.6-10.1CM were common amounts in N/NW Arkansas). Although the snowfall was scant, I'm Happy & Thankful for any amount; this was the first measurable snow I've recorded here since I copped 1.5"/3.8CM of snow on March 5, 2015. Overall High-12:01AM-listed for the 13th; Overall High-around 8:30PM-listed for the 16th (fog/drizzle caused nighttime temperature rise); Overall Low-around 11:30PM-listed for the 17th (the Morning Low was 46F/7.7C); Overall High-around 11:15PM-listed for the 18th (gusty SW pre-frontal winds caused nighttime temperature rise). Overall High-12:01AM & Overall Low-around 11:15PM-listed for the 19th (the Daytime High was a chilly 30F/-1.1C at the 7:22AM sunrise).
Intellicast has merged with Weather Underground; hence, the Daily Average Maximum/Minimum temperatures for Mena are not listed. The Daily Forecasted AM & PM Precipitation Chances for Mena are not listed (the daily expected precipitation amounts are listed).
Forecast for upcoming week calls for seasonal temperatures with good rainchances and another cool-down by midweek. Hoping for a heavier snowdump this Winter.

Hello Morham & All: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE.......HIGH........LOW........RAIN Jan..20..42F/5.5C...16F/-8.8C..--- .......21..47F/8.3C...27F/-2.7C..--- .......22..55F/12.7C..34F/1.1C...0.70"/17.7C .......23..34F/1.1C...25F/-3.8C..0.10"/2.5mm .......24..51F/10.5C..19F/-7.2C..--- .......25..44F/6.6C...18F/-7.7C..--- .......26..50F/10C....27F/-2.7C..---
This past week was fairly typical of Winter--somewhat variable maximums with chilly mornings. Raintotal was from a Warm Front (early AM) followed by the trailing Pacific Cold Front (late PM) passing on the 22nd; a dry Canadian Cold Front passed through on the 24th. Most days in the week had fairly abundant sunshine. Overall Low-abt. 11:50PM-listed for the 22nd (the Morning Low was a fairly warm 45F/7.2C); Overall High-12:01AM-listed for the 23rd (the Daytime High was a cool 31F/-0.5C around 12:10PM). Forecast for upcoming week calls for a chilly start, with rising temperatures and better rainchances near the weekend.
Hello Morham: Thanks, and my area can have fairly interesting weather at times throughout the year. As I've said before, I wouldn't mind being in Australia at this time of the year (esp. on our cold & damp days), as your area of the world is experiencing warmer/hotter temperatures & longer daylight times. Our daylight times here are stretching out, but not that much each day; for today--Monday, January 28th--Mena's Sunrise was at 7:18AM, with a 5:41PM Sunset).
Kind Wishes--Take Care & GOD Bless~~~Wet Snow

Hi Wet Snow, did the polar vortex have much effect on your weather in the past week?

Hello LonnyDave & All:
The recent deep & strong Polar Vortex which is still impacting parts of the US, really had little impact on my area of the US; as the much colder air (Chicago, Illinois had a record low maximum of -14F/-25.5C [with Wind Chill values near -50F/-45.5C] the other day & Peoria, Illinois broke their all-time minimum temperature with -33F/-36.1C the following morning), was to the N & NE & SE of my area. Aside from our very light snow amount, the recent temperatures here (maximums & minimums) were within normal/typical Wintertime temperatures (but the conditions did feel cooler compared to the above-normal readings of the previous days). No Daily Record Low Minimum/Low Maximum temperatures were broken/tied in Arkansas, that I know of. Currently, my area is forecasted for a nice warm-up.
Enjoy your warmer temperatures & fairly long daylight times & Many Thanks For Your Question & Interest! I Hope & Pray Your Area Stays Bushfire-free in your Summer.
Kind Wishes & Take Care~~~Wet Snow

Hello Friends: Here's previous weeks' weather in Mena, Arkansas:
DATE.......HIGH........LOW........RAIN Jan..27..56F/13.3C..25F/-3.8C..--- .......28..51F/10.5C..28F/-2.2C..--- .......29..41F/5.0C...22F/-5.5C..--- .......30..46F/7.7C...20F/-6.6C..--- .......31..45F/7.2C...24F/-4.4C..--- Feb....1..54F/12.2C..43F/6.1C...0.10"/2.5mm .........2..55F/12.7C..50F/10.0C..---
This past week featured a typical Wintertime roller-coaster temperature profile. A dry Pacific cold front passed through on the 28th; another dry Pacific cold front passed through on the 30th, this cold front became Stationary near the Arkansas/Louisiana border & retreated back Northward as a Warm Front on the 31st. Although the temperatures were cooler, the skies were mostly sunny for much of the week. Actually felt a bit humid (warm SW winds) on the 1st & 2nd. Overall Low-around 11:40PM-listed for the 28th. Forecast for the upcoming week calls for much-above maximums (& minimums) early-week, followed by thunderstorm chances & a good temperature-drop just past mid-week.

This past week--again--featured Springlike warmth to start, followed by a very chilly finish. Was so warm on the 4th, that I actually turned the a/c on in my house! I also heard those "Spring Peeper" frogs croaking & I have daffodil/jonquil shoots poking up in my front yard. A fairly strong Canadian cold front passed through (around 5:30AM) on the 7th & an Upper-Level Disturbance caused the precipitation on the 9th. Was great to hear the thunder rumbles as the cold front/thundershower line passed through on the 7th. Light Freezing Rain fell overnight 9th/10th. The Maximum on the 3rd was at 3:40PM and the temperature--aided by gusty & warm SW winds--stayed steady for the remainder of the night; Overall High-12:01AM-and Overall Low-abt. 11:50PM-listed for the 7th (the Daytime High was a chilly 43F/6.1C at the 7:11AM sunrise, with steadily falling temperatures). Forecast for upcoming week calls for rebounding (near normal) temperatures with showers expected early-week and cooler weather by the weekend (poss. wintry precipitation on Saturday morning).
