Little Rock, Ark. – Drivers across central Arkansas should brace for stormy conditions starting Monday, August 25, with thunderstorms and showers expected to disrupt commutes. Travel along I-30 and I-40 may slow as wet roads and poor visibility develop, especially during the afternoon hours. Residents are urged to allow extra travel time and keep phones charged in case of brief power outages.
According to the National Weather Service in Little Rock, storm chances increase Monday afternoon, with up to a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms lingering through Tuesday evening. While rainfall totals should remain modest, heavier downpours and isolated lightning could impact drivers and outdoor events. Winds from the northeast at 5 mph will add a cooler feel by midweek, but storm activity remains a concern.
Monday will bring a high near 83, with storm chances growing after noon. Tuesday looks cooler, with highs near 75 and scattered storms expected throughout the day. By Wednesday, conditions turn calmer with highs in the low 80s before more showers return Thursday and Friday…
