Little Rock started Monday in a blanket of fog, but the gray morning will give way to warm, breezy weather and a high near 78. A few showers could pop up late in the morning, while the bigger weather change arrives overnight and into Tuesday.
Fog Clears As Winds Pick Up
Patchy fog is expected to linger through about 10 a.m., with visibility reduced in spots. After that, the forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies, southeast winds of 5 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph, with only a slight chance of rain through midday.
Monday night stays mild and mostly cloudy, with a low around 64. Showers become more likely after 1 a.m. as winds from the south remain brisk, again gusting as high as 25 mph.
Tuesday Brings Storms And A Temperature Drop
Showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Little Rock area Tuesday, especially from late morning through the afternoon. The chance of rain rises to about 90%, with a high near 76 before temperatures fall toward the lower 70s later in the day.
The National Weather Service says stronger storms cannot be ruled out, with gusty winds the main concern. The broader weather system could produce 1 to 1.5 inches of rain, with locally higher totals near stronger thunderstorms.
Checking Mapped Floodplains
The City of Little Rock directs property owners to its PAGIS Flood Zone Map Application to check whether a building or tract of land is in a mapped floodplain. The City’s resource provides a way to check a specific property; it does not identify particular Greater Little Rock neighborhoods here.
Sunny Skies Return Wednesday
Rain chances taper Tuesday night, followed by a sunny Wednesday with a high near 73, according to the National Weather Service. Cooler nights arrive behind the system, with temperatures dropping into the upper 40s Wednesday and Thursday nights before another stretch of mild, mostly sunny weather.
