Little Rock, AR – Residents across central Arkansas will wake up to chilly temperatures Sunday morning, but a noticeable warm-up is expected by the afternoon as highs climb into the mid to upper 60s in Little Rock and surrounding areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, overnight and early Sunday morning temperatures dipped into the mid-30s across much of central Arkansas, with Little Rock near 34 degrees around daybreak. Areas farther north and east, including parts of northeast Arkansas, saw lows closer to freezing.
By Sunday afternoon, temperatures are forecast to rebound quickly. Highs in Little Rock are expected to reach around 67 degrees, with similar readings in Russellville, Hot Springs, and Mena. Northern locations such as Harrison are expected to top out in the mid-60s, while eastern Arkansas cities like Jonesboro and West Memphis should see highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Forecasters say the warming trend will make for a pleasant end to the weekend, especially after several colder mornings earlier in the week. The National Weather Service noted Sunday afternoon should be comfortable for outdoor activities, with dry conditions and mild temperatures across most of the state.
Drivers should still use caution early Sunday, particularly on bridges and overpasses, as colder morning temperatures could allow for isolated slick spots in areas that dipped near freezing overnight. Conditions are expected to improve quickly as temperatures rise after sunrise.
The warmer weather is expected to be short-term, with additional changes possible heading into the new week. Residents are encouraged to stay updated with the latest forecasts, especially if traveling early Sunday morning.
