Little Rock, AR – The mid-December sun glows bright over central Arkansas this morning, bouncing off car hoods and rooftops as temperatures climb through the 40s into the upper 50s. The air feels crisp but gentle — a calm pause before a cooler weekend pattern arrives across the state.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, today will bring mostly sunny skies with a high near 58°F, supported by southwest winds around 10–15 mph. Gusts may top 20 mph at times but will ease late in the day. Skies stay clear through Thursday night, keeping conditions ideal for early holiday errands, outdoor work, or travel.
The mild pattern continues through Friday, when highs reach the low 60s under bright, dry skies. By Saturday, however, clouds return with a 20% chance of light showers late in the evening. Any rainfall will be light and scattered but may leave damp roads and cooler air behind for Sunday morning.
Meteorologists note that temperatures will drop sharply after the front, with lows dipping near 29°F Saturday night and morning frost possible in rural areas by Sunday. It’s a subtle but clear sign that Arkansas is sliding into a truer December feel heading into midmonth.
