Little Rock, AR – Rain showers will spread across southern Arkansas today, bringing wet roads and potentially challenging travel conditions. Residents should prepare for a sharp drop in temperatures tonight, with lows plunging into the 20s and 30s across much of the state.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, rain is expected to increase by late afternoon, particularly in areas south of Interstate 30. Daytime highs will reach the low 50s in central Arkansas and mid-60s in northern regions. However, as a cold front moves through tonight, temperatures will drop sharply, leading to freezing conditions by early Thursday morning.
Drivers are advised to use caution on highways, as wet roads combined with falling temperatures could lead to slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses. If you’re traveling along I-40 or I-30 tonight, consider allowing extra time for your commute.
Looking ahead, Thursday will be sunny but cold, with highs struggling to climb above the mid-40s in central Arkansas. Overnight lows will dip to near freezing through Friday night. By Saturday, milder weather returns, with highs reaching the low 50s and a slight chance of evening showers. A stronger rain system is predicted for Sunday, with up to 80% of the region likely to see rainfall.
Residents are encouraged to monitor forecasts for updates, particularly regarding potential frost conditions and Sunday’s rain. Prepare your homes and vehicles for freezing temperatures, and limit outdoor exposure tonight and tomorrow morning.
