Weather in March
March in
Arkansas brings a noticeable shift towards spring, as temperatures continue to climb and the landscape begins to awaken from its winter slumber. In the northern and western regions, such as the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains, the average high temperatures may reach 61°F (16.1°C), while lows hover around 41°F (5°C). In the southern lowlands, temperatures are often milder.
As the state moves away from the colder temperatures of
February, the likelihood of snowfall diminishes, particularly in the southern parts of Arkansas. However, frost and freezes are not completely ruled out, and the northern regions may still experience occasional wintry precipitation.
March ushers in the beginning of the rainy season in the north, contrasting with the wetter winter months in the south. The transition from winter to spring can lead to fluctuating weather patterns, with varying degrees of rainfall and humidity throughout the state.
Compared to the colder and sometimes extreme weather of February, March in Arkansas offers a more moderate and pleasant climate. The increased sunshine and warmer temperatures signal the imminent arrival of spring, setting the stage for the even milder conditions of
April and the full bloom of spring across the Natural State.
