Arkansas – Warm air is surging across Little Rock this morning, with sunshine already heating pavement and a steady breeze pushing temperatures toward the low 90s.
According to the National Weather Service, southwest winds will increase to 10–15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph by afternoon. That added wind will enhance the warmth and dry out surfaces quickly. It will feel more like early summer than March across central Arkansas.
In Little Rock, North Little Rock, and Benton, conditions stay dry and bright through the day. Drivers along I-30 and I-40 should expect occasional crosswinds, especially on elevated stretches and bridges. Secure loose outdoor items before winds peak.
A noticeable shift arrives by Monday. Highs fall into the upper 60s with a light northeast breeze. The cooler air will feel crisp compared to today’s heat, especially during the morning and evening hours.
Tuesday holds steady in the upper 60s with partly sunny skies. By midweek, the pattern flips again. Temperatures climb sharply into the mid to upper 80s by Wednesday, then push back to around 90°F by Thursday.
This back-and-forth pattern highlights a classic early spring setup. Warm surges followed by quick cooldowns can stress outdoor plans and impact travel timing. Plan layers and stay weather-aware through the week.
