Little Rock, Arkansas – A cold front is set to push through Arkansas, bringing an end to the sweltering heat and ushering in scattered showers and storms across the state, particularly in western regions this weekend. The shift in weather will bring much-needed relief from temperatures that have been hovering near or above 90°F, with cooler air arriving by early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, a series of cold fronts will move through the state. The first will bring isolated showers and thunderstorms to western Arkansas on Sunday afternoon. A second, stronger cold front is expected to arrive by Monday and Tuesday, bringing more widespread rain chances and a significant drop in temperatures, with highs falling into the 70s.
The storms could impact travel on key roadways like I-40 and I-30, especially during peak travel hours on Sunday and Monday. Drivers should be aware of potential downpours, which could lead to isolated flash flooding and reduced visibility. Residents across the state, from Fayetteville to Pine Bluff, should prepare for the change in weather and keep an eye on local alerts…
