Little Rock, Arkansas – Arkansas is enjoying a rare taste of summer relief this weekend as cooler, less humid air sweeps across the state, bringing afternoon highs in the low to mid-80s and crisp overnight lows. Roadways, parks, and neighborhoods from Little Rock to Fayetteville will see comfortable conditions ideal for outdoor plans through Sunday night.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, afternoon highs will hover between 81°F and 88°F through Sunday, August 3, with overnight lows dropping to the mid-60s statewide. Residents in northern Arkansas—especially near Mountain Home and Harrison—could wake up to lows in the low 50s, an unusual break from August’s typical heat.
Most of Arkansas will stay dry, with only a slight chance of rain lingering through Friday evening, especially in the east. Highway travelers and outdoor event organizers can expect safe, comfortable weather and minimal disruptions. Utilities aren’t anticipating outages, but it’s a good time to check your air conditioning and outdoor plans before a warming trend returns by Tuesday.
The cooler pattern is expected to end by Monday, with rising temperatures and humidity possible by mid-week. Further advisories could be issued if conditions change.
