County Judge Troy Tucker lifted a burn ban for Clark County on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
As of Monday, April 20, there were 18 counties in Arkansas that remained under a burn ban, including Dallas County, which borders Clark County to the east. All 75 counties remained under a Moderate Risk for wildfire. Caution should be taken if burning outdoors, as fires can start accidentally.
The Clark County ban had been in effect since March 26 as wildfire dangers increased statewide.
Drought conditions persist throughout Arkansas. Clark County and most of its neighboring counties remained under Extreme Drought as of April 14. Portions of north-central and northeastern Arkansas are in Exceptional Drought, the highest classification of drought status.
Precipitation is in the area forecast this week, according to the National Weather Service in Little Rock. There are chances for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday through at least Sunday, April 26.
