FORT SMITH, Ark – A taste of fall is expected to come to the Fort Smith region this week.
The region on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is expected to not exceed 72 degrees Fahrenheit and reach lows in the mid- to low-50s. Although brief, the cold front from Canada will bring what National Weather Service Forecaster Ray Sondag says will be more common weather near the end of the month.
The cold front is expected to move through the Midwest this week, dropping temperatures in every region it hits. Fort Smith is on the eastern edge of the front, according to forecast models.
