Little Rock, AR – Dry weather will prevail across Arkansas this week, accompanied by rising wildfire risks and numerous burn bans. Temperatures will remain cool at night, dropping to the 40s and 50s, while daytime highs will soar to around 80 degrees.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Little Rock, a strong high-pressure system will maintain dry conditions through the weekend.
