Arkansas, nicknamed The Natural State, was once referred to as a sub-humid tropical climate by climatologist Wladimir Koppen. Arkansas' weather during the month of March is indicative of Koppen's description, with comfortable temperatures and little precipitation.
March weather in Arkansas is reminiscent of atypical transitions from winter to early spring. Temperatures in March reach average highs of around 62.7 degrees Fahrenheit and lows of 43.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Precipitation in March is significantly low, averaging around 1/2 inch of snow and approximately 4.66 inches of rain. March is similar to winter months, when precipitation reaches 4.6 inches of rain and 2.3 inches of snow in January.
Although tornadoes are more prevalent during mid-spring and early summer months, Arkansas' worst tornadoes occur during the winter, fall and early spring.
