Default Arkansas in the spring...

Planning on Easter weekend rides based out of Eureka Springs. Good weather generally, or monsoons? Arkansas folks....let me know. Thanks!

Normally still fronts that time of year. Cold front with storms, then a day up to five or six, another cold front repeat. Forecasts are fairly good with these. You may miss a day, or like last night, storms may pass in the night. Temps will make you have to be prepared for the whole spectrum..... 30s to 80s.

That said, this has not been a normal year. We may be into the slower monsoon type, rain for hours before moving through, by that time.

Sorry not the positive reassurance.

Ditto on the weather comments. If you haven't been to the part of AR before, it's pretty much pick a road and it will be good. Two of the better known roads are the Pig Trail - AR23 south out of Eureka Springs. Work your way south on AR23 then east to Hot Springs and take AR7 north to Harrison.

Enjoy the ride!
