Little Rock is starting Thursday clear and mild, but the city is headed for an unusually warm afternoon with a high near 83 degrees. The bigger change arrives this weekend, when clouds, showers and a few thunderstorms could complicate Halloween plans.
Warm Weather Holds Through Friday
Conditions should stay mostly sunny Thursday, with light south-southeast winds and almost no rain chance. According to the National Weather Service, Friday will be slightly warmer than Thursday but still mild, with a high near 84 and dry conditions.
Halloween Weekend Turns Cloudy And Damp
Clouds will thicken Friday night as temperatures dip to about 56 degrees, with a 0% chance of precipitation. Saturday brings showers, with a high near 76 and a 60% chance of rain.
Saturday night could bring more showers, with a 40% chance of showers. Sunday looks like the better outdoor window, with partly sunny skies and a high near 79, although a slight chance of showers returns after midnight.
Storm Chances Increase Early Next Week
Monday keeps the unsettled pattern going with a 30% chance of showers during the day and a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms at night. Tuesday has the week’s strongest rain signal so far, with showers and thunderstorms likely, a high near 75 and a 60% chance of precipitation.
The latest outlook extends the wet-weather concern beyond Halloween and into the middle of next week, a notable update from the earlier Hoodline forecast. The National Weather Service says some storms around Tuesday and Wednesday could be strong to severe, with damaging winds, large hail and an isolated tornado possible.
