Clark County now experiencing exceptional drought

The southeastern half of Clark County joins much of southern Arkansas as a region experiencing exceptional drought conditions. The latest report from the National Weather Service in Little Rock puts 19.4% of the state in exceptional drought, the worst level categorized in measuring drought. A large swath of the southern third of Arkansas stretching from the Oklahoma border to the Mississippi River is under exceptional drought. The 2026 drought has become the worst in Arkansas since August 2012, when about 53% of the state was under exceptional drought.
