Arkansas – Headlights glow softly through patches of fog across central Arkansas as mist clings to neighborhoods and river valleys near dawn. Damp air chills exposed skin, and visibility drops quickly along low-lying roads around Little Rock.
Early this morning, temperatures hover in the mid-30s with humidity near saturation. According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog and areas of mist linger through mid-morning. A few light showers are possible, mainly before late morning, but rainfall remains minimal. Still, wet pavement and reduced visibility combine to create tricky driving conditions.
In Little Rock, travel impacts are most likely along I-30, I-40, and elevated roadways near the Arkansas River. Drivers should slow down, increase following distance, and watch for sudden visibility drops. To be fair, conditions improve steadily as fog lifts and clouds thin later this morning.
By afternoon, skies brighten and temperatures rebound into the mid-50s. Winds turn light from the northwest, ushering in drier air. Wednesday brings mostly sunny skies, though cooler air settles in, keeping highs in the mid-40s. Wednesday night turns cold, with lows dipping into the mid-20s. This is prime time for flash-freezing where moisture lingers after sunset.
A noticeable shift arrives Thursday. Sunshine dominates, and highs climb into the low 50s. By Friday, a stronger warming trend takes hold. Afternoon temperatures surge into the mid-60s under clear skies, offering a brief taste of spring across central Arkansas.
The weekend continues the warming pattern, with highs pushing into the upper 70s by Saturday and near 80 on Sunday. Longer-range outlooks suggest above-normal temperatures may persist into late next week, signaling a broader February thaw.
