LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A calm, cool Halloween morning greets central Arkansas with crystal-clear skies and light fog hugging the Arkansas River. Porch lights glint through the still air, signaling a perfect start for outdoor events before clouds build Saturday and light showers brush through parts of Pulaski County and beyond.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, the day stays sunny and mild with highs near 65°F and light winds. The air remains dry, offering prime conditions for trick-or-treating and outdoor fall celebrations. Clouds move in Friday evening ahead of a weak system arriving Saturday, bringing a 20 percent chance of scattered light rain during the afternoon, especially north and west of I-30.
Rainfall amounts are expected to stay light, but brief damp conditions could affect early travel or outdoor work. Temperatures dip to near 48°F Saturday night before skies begin to clear. Sunday turns sunny and noticeably cooler, with highs in the upper 50s to near 60°F — a fresh, bright start to November.
Looking ahead, warmer air returns quickly as high pressure rebuilds over the South. Monday and Tuesday climb back into the upper 60s, reaching the 70s by midweek. Winds remain light, keeping conditions ideal for raking leaves, decorating outdoors, or planning early travel ahead of the season’s next cold front.
The transition into early November will bring more of these subtle swings — mild days, crisp nights, and small, fleeting rain chances that mark Arkansas’s steady slide into winter’s doorstep.
