Arkansas – Fog presses low across central Arkansas this morning, muting headlights and softening the edges of downtown Little Rock. Moist air clings to roadways, and visibility drops at times, especially along river valleys and low-lying neighborhoods where mist settles in thick pockets.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, fog and low clouds linger through the morning before gradual clearing begins. Highs reach the low 50s today as north winds remain light. While widespread hazards stay limited, damp pavement combined with cool temperatures may cause slick spots early, particularly on bridges and shaded roads.
Skies clear tonight, allowing temperatures to fall near the low 30s. That setup brings a brief freeze risk, with frost possible on vehicles, lawns, and exposed surfaces. Drivers heading out early Sunday should watch for patchy black ice where moisture refreezes before sunrise.
Sunday marks a transition day. Clouds increase, and highs approach the upper 40s. Winds stay calm, but the colder feel fades by evening as southerly flow begins to return. Sunday night remains mild enough to prevent another hard freeze.
The first full workweek of 2026 turns noticeably warmer. Monday brings partly sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s, melting any remaining frost quickly. Tuesday climbs into the low 70s with a springlike feel that continues into Wednesday. That warmth comes with increasing moisture, and rain chances build late Wednesday night into Thursday.
Plan extra time for foggy travel this morning. Slow down, use low beams, and give extra space between vehicles. Keep jackets handy for chilly mornings, but expect lighter layers by early week.
