Little Rock, AR – Seasonally warm weather continues across Arkansas this week, with afternoon highs running 6 to 8 degrees above average for early October. According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, high pressure will dominate the region through the weekend, keeping skies mostly dry and winds light.
An isolated shower or thunderstorm is possible Thursday afternoon, forecasters said, but otherwise conditions will stay dry through Sunday. Temperatures across much of the state are expected to reach the mid-80s to low 90s, with overnight lows in the 60s.
The weather pattern is expected to shift early next week as moisture increases and a nearby frontal boundary approaches. This setup will bring higher chances of rain beginning Monday and into midweek, offering some relief from the unseasonably warm stretch.
The National Weather Service advises Arkansans to prepare for continued above-normal temperatures over the next several days, especially for outdoor activities, and to monitor updates for potential rainfall early next week.
