Hot Springs, Arkansas
Weekend air in Hot Springs sits near 98°F / 77°F, plus a dry outlook with little to no rain — enough to decide whether the trip is on.
What matters isn’t whether Hot Springs is famous — it’s whether 2026-08-15 – 2026-08-16 supports the outdoor time you want (dry, mild course days).
If the numbers still look good by Friday, lock the plan around 98°F — not a vague “nice weather somewhere.”
