EATHER
IN THE TRI-PEAKS
The
weather in the Arkansas River Valley Tri-Peaks
makes it hard for visitors to go back
home. In the fall and winter our days are
mostly mild. Average highs in the 50's and the lows
in the high 20's and 30's. It's not unusal to
attend holiday gatherings such as Thanksgiving or
Christmas parades in just a light jacket or even
shirtsleeves. In the spring and summer there are
plenty of sunshine, swimming hole days, to make any
trip in the area complete. Average highs are in the
80's and night tme lows are in the 60's.
