Little Rock, Arkansas – Frost glistens across car rooftops and lawns this morning in central Arkansas as temperatures start near 30°F under clear skies. The air is still, crisp, and biting — the kind that makes you see your breath in the early light. But by midday, the November chill will fade fast as a warmup begins that lasts through much of the week.

According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, sunshine dominates Veterans Day with highs reaching around 60°F. Light southwest winds will pick up through the afternoon, occasionally gusting near 25 mph, helping to usher in milder air from the southern Plains. The result is a textbook fall rebound after one of the coldest mornings of the month.

By Wednesday, temperatures climb into the upper 60s and low 70s across Pulaski County, setting up a stretch of classic late-fall weather — cool mornings, warm afternoons, and clear skies. The warming trend peaks late in the week with highs in the mid to upper 70s Thursday and Friday. Winds may become gusty again by the weekend as a low-pressure system approaches from the west, bringing a chance of scattered showers by Saturday and Sunday.

For now, it’s a beautiful window for outdoor ceremonies, early holiday decorating, or late-season yard cleanup before unsettled weather returns. After all, mid-November rarely offers this kind of comfortable sunshine for long.
