Little Rock, AR — A blanket of fog rolls across the Arkansas River this morning, softening city lights and dimming the view of the skyline. The air feels still and damp — a classic late-November setup that can quickly complicate travel as Thanksgiving week begins across central Arkansas.
The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued a Dense Fog Advisory through 7 a.m. for much of central and eastern Arkansas, including Pulaski, Lonoke, and Saline Counties. Visibility may drop below a quarter mile in some areas, especially along I-40 and Highway 67/167, creating hazardous travel conditions through early morning. Drivers should slow down, use headlights, and leave extra distance.
Once the fog lifts, sunshine returns briefly with highs near 66°F to 67°F today and Sunday, offering a great window for outdoor errands, leaf cleanup, or early travel. But clouds will thicken late Sunday as a storm system builds to the west.
By Monday, showers and isolated thunderstorms return, with rain chances climbing to 60–80% across central Arkansas. Some locally heavy rain could develop Monday night, possibly affecting evening travel and early-week commutes.
By Tuesday, the system moves east, leaving behind dry and mild weather for the rest of Thanksgiving week. Highs will hover in the upper 60s to near 70°F, with mostly sunny skies for Thanksgiving Day — a travel-friendly setup regionally.
Across the U.S., meteorologists are tracking a potential major cold front late next week that could bring heavy snow from the Rockies to the Great Lakes between November 25th and December 3rd, a system worth watching as holiday travel ramps up.
