Arkansas is already heating up fast this morning, and that warm, dry air will push Little Rock close to summer-like levels before a quick shift early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, temperatures will climb to 89°F today under full sun, then peak near 91°F Sunday. Southwest winds increase to 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph by Sunday afternoon. That breeze will be noticeable along I-30, I-40, and across open areas of Pulaski County, especially for high-profile vehicles.
The combination of warmth and wind could also dry out grass and roadside vegetation. While no formal fire alerts are posted here, conditions may still support quick ignition if sparks occur. Avoid roadside burning and secure loose materials.
Sunday night turns quieter with partly cloudy skies and lows near 58°F. By Monday, a cooler air mass settles in, dropping highs to around 70°F with a northeast breeze. That shift will feel sharp after the weekend heat, and some early damp spots could linger on shaded roads.
Tuesday, March 24, brings mild and stable conditions with highs near 73°F and lighter winds. By Wednesday, warmth rebounds quickly, with temperatures climbing back to 85°F under sunny skies.
