Questions, answered.

NWAradar brings local public records, weather and daily reporting into one place. Start with Today’s Briefing, browse Explore, or open a radar for its reports, Search and Analytics.

A record shows the name, listed arrest date, charges or holds, agency and latest collected custody status. A booking is an entry in the jail records. Charges and warrants are allegations, not convictions. Open the card to read the full source text.

In custody means listed on the latest collected jail roster. Released means no longer listed. This can include transfers or source corrections; it does not confirm that every hold has ended. The card shows when the status was last confirmed.

The daily report uses the source-listed arrest date and reviewed statute codes for DWI and underage DUI. Refusal or open-container charges alone do not qualify. Population changes are a separate report.

The public source may not supply a current or archived photo. NWAradar shows confirmed available photos and keeps records readable without empty photo slots.

Search, reports, record cards, photos and analytics are public. Sign in to bookmark items and customize MYradar. Newsletter subscriptions are separate and optional.

Bookmarks keeps your saved records and reports together. MYradar shows updates for the interests you follow. Each radar can show its own bookmarks. Your saved items stay private.

Reports have Previous and Next date links when another edition is available. Feeds offer older pages. Search and charts show the history available from their source; collection gaps are not zero activity.

Choose a weather town on the forecast page or in your profile. Bentonville is the default. Hourly forecasts describe future conditions; weather trends use measured station observations. Radar frames show their own time.
