Little Rock woke Monday to fog and temperatures around 42 degrees, but the gray start should clear quickly. Sunshine takes over by midmorning, sending temperatures toward a comfortable high near 72 before the week takes a much colder turn.
Fog Gives Way To A Sunny Monday
Patchy fog is expected mainly through about 8 a.m., with sunny skies developing soon afterward. The afternoon should stay dry and mild.
Monday night will have a low near 46. Winds should remain light, making for a calm evening across the city.
Warmest Stretch Arrives Before Veterans Day
Tuesday looks sunny and warmer, with a high near 75 and another mild night near 52. Veterans Day on Wednesday could be the warmest day of the week, reaching about 78 degrees under mostly sunny skies.
A slight chance of rain showers arrives after noon Wednesday, but the odds remain low at about 20%. The updated outlook is a substantial change from earlier Hoodline coverage, which emphasized the warm spell without the sharper late-week cooldown; that earlier forecast is detailed in Hoodline's previous report.
Cold Front Brings A Noticeable Late-Week Drop
A cold front moves through Wednesday, followed by much colder air Thursday through Saturday. Thursday will remain sunny but cooler near 65, with north-northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph and gusts up to 20 mph.
Friday's high is forecast near 55, followed by a low around 34 Friday night. Saturday stays sunny near 58, with morning temperatures around 35, before temperatures rebound to about 64 Sunday.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Little Rock area. The National Weather Service expects the broader cold snap to bring near-freezing conditions to parts of Arkansas, so outdoor plans may want to take advantage of the warm start to the week before jackets become the main event.
