Central ARWX Storm Center

🥶❄️🌧️ FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE SEASON COMING! BUT WAIT... A MUCH MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN MAY BE DEVELOPING! 👀 CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 2026 Good evening, Central Arkansas! We've got quite a bit to discuss in tonight's forecast! From a beautiful stretch of fall weather to our first widespread freeze of the season, and now increasing signs of a much more active weather pattern heading toward Thanksgiving! AND THAT MAY NOT BE THE ONLY THING WE'RE WATCHING! 👀 Let's break it all down! 🌙 TONIGHT'S FORECAST — CLEAR & COOL! We're expecting another quiet November night across Central Arkansas with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and cool temperatures. Most communities will drop into the lower and middle 40s, with some of our cooler valleys falling into the upper 30s. 🌡️ TONIGHT'S FORECAST LOWS: 🥶 Clinton: 40° 🥶 Russellville: 41° 🥶 Conway: 42° 🥶 Benton: 43° 🥶 Hot Springs: 45° 🥶 Little Rock: 45° 🥶 Pine Bluff: 43° 🥶 Searcy: 43° 🥶 Sheridan: 41° 🥶 Stuttgart: 47° No widespread frost or freezing temperatures are expected tonight. ☀️ THE WEEK AHEAD — ENJOY THE WARMTH WHILE IT LASTS! We're looking at another beautiful stretch of fall weather through midweek before a much stronger cold front changes things heading toward the weekend! 📅 YOUR CENTRAL ARWX 7-DAY FORECAST 🌤️ TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10: Mostly cloudy to partly sunny skies with mild temperatures. High 71° | Low 53°. 🌤️ VETERANS DAY WEDNESDAY: Partly cloudy and warm! High 76° | Low 45°. A very slight 10% chance of an isolated shower. ☀️ THURSDAY: Sunny, breezy, and turning cooler behind our next cold front! High 64° | Low 35°. 🥶 FRIDAY: Turning noticeably colder! Sunshine continues, but afternoon highs struggle to reach the middle 50s. High 54° | Low 31°. ❄️ SATURDAY: A FREEZING START TO THE WEEKEND! Sunny skies with highs near 57° after a very cold morning. Overnight low near 34°. ☀️ SUNDAY: Partly cloudy with temperatures slowly recovering. High 59° | Low 39°. 🌤️ MONDAY: Partly cloudy and milder, with highs near 62° and lows around 40°. 🚨🥶 FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE SEASON EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING! THIS continues to be our biggest short-term weather story! A strong cold front moving through Arkansas later this week will allow much colder air to settle across the region heading into Saturday morning. Our latest temperature guidance continues to show widespread lower 30s, with several locations potentially falling BELOW FREEZING! AND I STILL BELIEVE SOME OF THIS GUIDANCE MAY BE A TOUCH TOO WARM! If skies clear and winds become light Friday night, temperatures could fall several degrees below current projections. That could result in freezing temperatures becoming more widespread than the current forecast suggests. 🌱 NOW IS THE TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT PROTECTING SENSITIVE PLANTS! A widespread frost is looking increasingly likely, and many communities may experience their first freeze of the fall season. 🦌 MODERN GUN DEER SEASON OPENING WEEKEND! For our Arkansas deer hunters, opening morning Saturday could be COLD! Temperatures near or below freezing are possible across much of Central Arkansas around sunrise. The good news? We're currently expecting dry weather with plenty of sunshine throughout the day. So grab those heavier jackets if you're heading into the woods early Saturday morning! 🌡️ BUT HERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT — THIS COLD SHOT LOOKS BRIEF! While temperatures will drop significantly late this week, the cold air doesn't appear likely to stick around for an extended period. We're expecting temperatures to gradually moderate Sunday into early next week. And that temporary warmup could become important as our next weather systems begin to take shape! 🌧️ NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING WE DESPERATELY NEED... RAIN! We've been discussing the ongoing drought across Arkansas for weeks, and unfortunately, the upcoming seven-day forecast doesn't offer much meaningful rainfall. But beyond that? THINGS ARE STARTING TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING! 👀🌧️ Our longer-range forecast guidance is beginning to show increasing opportunities for rainfall during the second half of November. The latest Climate Prediction Center outlook also highlights portions of Central Arkansas with a Slight Risk of heavy precipitation during the November 16–22 period. This doesn't guarantee a heavy rainfall event, but it's another indication that we may finally be moving toward a more active weather pattern. 🌧️ LATE NEXT WEEK — OUR NEXT POTENTIAL WEATHER MAKER! Our extended forecast currently shows scattered shower chances returning around Thursday, November 19. And we're continuing to monitor additional potential systems beyond that timeframe! Could this finally bring some much-needed widespread rainfall to Arkansas? IT'S POSSIBLE, BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME WORK TO DO BEFORE WE CAN GET EXCITED ABOUT SPECIFIC RAINFALL TOTALS! The exact timing, track, and intensity of these systems remain uncertain. 🦃🥶 AND THEN THERE'S THANKSGIVING WEEK... Here's where the longer-range forecast starts getting REALLY interesting! Some guidance is beginning to suggest the possibility of ANOTHER SUBSTANTIAL SHOT OF COLD AIR as we approach Thanksgiving. And depending on how the larger-scale weather pattern evolves, additional precipitation opportunities may also become possible. COULD WE BE LOOKING AT AN EVEN BIGGER PATTERN CHANGE AS NOVEMBER COMES TO AN END?! 👀 It's simply too early to know. We're not making any predictions about winter precipitation, severe weather, or specific Thanksgiving Day conditions at this distance. But we ARE watching the developing pattern very closely! 📢 FREQUENT UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK! With our first widespread freeze potential approaching and increasing signs of a more active extended forecast, we'll have frequent updates as newer guidance becomes available. 📺 WATCH THE ARWX 24/7 NETWORK!

🌧️🚨 COULD MUCH-NEEDED RAIN FINALLY BE HEADING BACK TO ARKANSAS?! CPC HIGHLIGHTS CENTRAL ARKANSAS! 👀 CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2026 Well, Central Arkansas, THIS is something we’ve been waiting to see! 👀🌧️ After another extended stretch of dry weather, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is highlighting much of Central Arkansas in its latest Day 8–14 Heavy Precipitation Outlook! And considering our ongoing drought concerns, this is certainly a development worth watching! 🌧️ WHAT DOES THE OUTLOOK SHOW? The latest CPC outlook places much of our 22-county coverage area within a SLIGHT RISK for heavy precipitation during the November 16–22 timeframe. That includes communities around: 📍 Little Rock and Benton 📍 Conway and Russellville 📍 Hot Springs and Arkadelphia 📍 Pine Bluff and Stuttgart 📍 Searcy and Heber Springs The highlighted area indicates an increased potential for a heavy precipitation event during this period. ⚠️ BUT LET’S BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING! A Slight Risk does NOT mean heavy rainfall is guaranteed, nor does it mean rain will occur throughout the entire seven-day period. This is a longer-range outlook highlighting the potential for a heavy precipitation event, not a forecast of specific rainfall totals or exact timing. 🌦️ WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? We’ve been discussing the possibility of a more active weather pattern developing as we approach Thanksgiving. Our longer-range guidance has also been hinting at additional weather systems moving through the region during the second half of November. Now, with CPC highlighting the potential for heavier precipitation, we have another reason to monitor this period closely! 🌧️ COULD THIS BRING DROUGHT RELIEF? Potentially! Widespread beneficial rainfall would certainly be welcome across Arkansas. However, whether this developing pattern produces meaningful drought improvement will depend on how much rain falls, where it falls, and whether multiple systems develop. And remember, heavy rainfall over a short period isn’t always as beneficial as a more prolonged, steady soaking rain. 👀 WHAT WE’RE WATCHING NEXT We’ll be monitoring: 🌧️ Whether precipitation chances continue increasing ⛈️ The strength and timing of potential weather systems 📅 Whether the more active pattern continues toward Thanksgiving 💧 The potential for meaningful drought relief THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE OF HEAVY RAIN, BUT IT’S DEFINITELY AN ENCOURAGING SIGNAL THAT OUR WEATHER PATTERN MAY FINALLY BE CHANGING! 📺 MORE COMING UP ON CENTRAL ARWX! We’ll continue tracking the latest CPC outlooks, long-range Futurecast guidance, and potential rainfall opportunities throughout the week!

🦌🥶 **DEER HUNTERS, GET READY! A FREEZING START TO OPENING DAY OF MODERN GUN SEASON?!** ❄️🌲 **CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | FIRST LOOK AT SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2026** Calling all Arkansas deer hunters! 🦌 We've got our **FIRST LOOK at the opening day hunting forecast**, and Mother Nature may be delivering some PERFECT fall hunting weather just in time for modern gun season! A strong cold front arriving late this week is expected to bring significantly colder temperatures across Arkansas, with the potential for our **FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE SEASON SATURDAY MORNING!** 🌅 **7 AM — OPENING MORNING** 🥶 Temperature: **32°F** ☀️ Conditions: Cold and sunny 💨 Northwest wind: 4 mph **YOU'RE GOING TO WANT THOSE EXTRA LAYERS!** Temperatures could be at or below freezing across much of Central Arkansas as hunters head into the woods. Some rural areas, valleys, and sheltered locations may be even colder than our current forecast suggests! ☀️ **12 PM — LUNCHTIME** 🌡️ Temperature: **54°F** ☀️ Conditions: Sunny 💨 Northwest wind: 7 mph By midday, temperatures should recover nicely into the 50s, making for a much more comfortable afternoon in the woods. 🌄 **4 PM — LATE AFTERNOON HUNT** 🌡️ Temperature: **59°F** ☀️ Conditions: Sunny 💨 Northwest wind: 5 mph We're expecting a beautiful fall afternoon with comfortable temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and relatively light winds! 🦌 **OVERALL OPENING DAY OUTLOOK** ✅ Cold, potentially freezing morning temperatures ✅ Plenty of sunshine throughout the day ✅ Light northwest winds ✅ Dry conditions currently favored ✅ Afternoon temperatures warming into the upper 50s ❄️ **ONE IMPORTANT THING TO WATCH!** I continue to believe our current temperature guidance may be running a touch too warm for Saturday morning. If conditions favor strong overnight cooling, we could see temperatures falling below current projections in several locations. That means Saturday's 32° forecast could still trend colder! 📢 **THIS IS ONLY OUR FIRST LOOK!** We're still several days away from opening morning, and forecast details will continue to change. **Central ARWX Storm Center will have frequent updates throughout the week**, including our latest temperature projections, wind conditions, and opening weekend hunting forecast! 📺 **WATCH THE ARWX 24/7 NETWORK** on Roku, YouTube, the website, and the app for the latest forecasts and weather updates! 👇 **ARKANSAS DEER HUNTERS, LET'S HEAR FROM YOU!** 🦌 Who's heading into the woods Saturday morning? 🌲 What county will you be hunting in? 🥶 And do you prefer those cold, frosty opening mornings or warmer weather? **Good luck to all our Arkansas hunters this weekend!

🥶❄️ FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE SEASON COMING SATURDAY MORNING?! I THINK WE MAY BE COLDER THAN THE MODELS ARE SHOWING! 🦌 CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2026 Central Arkansas, we're continuing to closely monitor a significant shot of colder air expected to arrive late this week, and I'm becoming increasingly concerned about the potential for our FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE OF THE FALL SEASON! And the timing? Just in time for the opening of modern gun deer season Saturday morning! 🦌🥶 🌡️ LATEST FUTURECAST — 6 AM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14 Our latest temperature guidance continues to show widespread lower to middle 30s across Central Arkansas, with several communities already projected to reach freezing! ❄️ SATURDAY MORNING FORECAST TEMPERATURES: 🥶 Beebe: 32° 🥶 Malvern: 32° 🥶 Arkadelphia: 32° 🥶 Fordyce: 32° 🥶 Greenbrier: 33° 🥶 Searcy: 33° 🥶 Vilonia: 33° 🥶 Lonoke: 33° 🥶 Sheridan: 33° 🥶 Benton: 34° 🥶 Conway: 34° 🥶 Russellville: 34° 🥶 Heber Springs: 34° 🥶 Pine Bluff: 35° 🥶 Hot Springs: 36° 🥶 Little Rock: 37° 🚨 HERE'S WHERE MY FORECAST THINKING DIFFERS FROM THE GUIDANCE! I personally believe the current temperature guidance is running a TOUCH TOO WARM! While our latest Futurecast shows many locations hovering between 32° and 36°, I believe there's a reasonable possibility that temperatures could end up several degrees colder than currently projected. If skies clear, winds become light, and conditions favor strong overnight cooling, temperatures could fall below current model projections. MY CURRENT THINKING? MOST OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS COULD EXPERIENCE ITS FIRST FREEZE OF THE SEASON SATURDAY MORNING! ❄️ That includes locations currently showing temperatures just above freezing. Of course, we'll need to closely monitor how this system evolves throughout the week. Cloud cover, wind speeds, and the strength of the incoming cold air will all play important roles in determining just how cold we get. 🌱 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PLANTS AND VEGETATION? With widespread frost looking increasingly possible and freezing temperatures potentially expanding across the region, now is a good time to begin making preparations. Sensitive plants and remaining warm-season vegetation could be affected, especially if temperatures fall to or below 32° for an extended period. 🦌 OPENING MORNING OF MODERN GUN DEER SEASON! For those planning to head into the woods early Saturday, prepare for a VERY chilly morning! Depending on your location, temperatures could be near or below freezing around sunrise. The good news? Current guidance favors dry weather for opening morning! 📢 FREQUENT UPDATES COMING THROUGHOUT THE WEEK! We're going to be watching this VERY closely as newer forecast guidance becomes available. Expect frequent updates from Central ARWX Storm Center throughout the week as we fine-tune: ❄️ How widespread freezing temperatures may become 🌡️ Just how cold Saturday morning could get 🥶 Locations most likely to experience their first freeze 🦌 The latest opening-weekend deer hunting forecast I wouldn't be surprised to see those forecast temperatures trend colder as we get closer to Saturday! 📺 STAY CONNECTED WITH CENTRAL ARWX!

We're expecting another nice stretch of fall weather early this week, with afternoon highs returning to the lower and middle 70s. However, we're keeping a close eye on a stronger cold front arriving late in the week! 🥶 Temperatures could fall considerably heading into next weekend, with increasing potential for widespread frost and even freezing temperatures in some locations. 🌧️ Unfortunately, widespread beneficial rainfall continues to look limited, meaning our ongoing drought remains a concern. We'll have a MUCH more detailed breakdown of the upcoming cold front, frost potential, and extended outlook in this evening's forecast! 📺 WATCH THE CENTRAL ARWX WEATHER NETWORK 24/7!

🥶❄️ FROST ADVISORY TONIGHT! BUT AN EVEN BIGGER SHOT OF COLD AIR MAY BE ON THE WAY! CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | Saturday Evening, November 7, 2026 Good evening, Central Arkansas! We've got several things to talk about in tonight's forecast, including our first significant frost concerns of the season, a beautiful stretch of fall weather, and a potentially MUCH STRONGER cold front heading our way next weekend! And we're also keeping a close eye on the weather pattern developing as we approach Thanksgiving! 👀 Let's break it all down! 🌙🥶 TONIGHT'S FORECAST — COLD WITH PATCHY FROST! Temperatures will tumble into the middle and upper 30s across much of Central Arkansas overnight, with partly cloudy to mostly clear skies. A FROST ADVISORY goes into effect at MIDNIGHT for portions of northern and north-central Arkansas, including areas around Clinton, Heber Springs, Searcy, and Beebe. Even outside the advisory area, some patchy frost cannot be ruled out, especially in rural communities and low-lying locations. 🌡️ TONIGHT'S FORECAST LOWS: 🥶 Mount Ida: 34° 🥶 Clinton: 35° 🥶 Sheridan: 35° 🥶 Lonoke: 36° 🥶 Pine Bluff: 36° 🥶 Arkadelphia: 36° 🥶 Benton: 37° 🥶 Searcy: 37° 🥶 Heber Springs: 37° 🥶 Conway: 38° 🥶 Russellville: 39° 🥶 Hot Springs: 39° 🥶 Little Rock: 39° ⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER: Frost can develop even when temperatures remain above freezing! If you've got sensitive plants outdoors, take precautions before heading to bed tonight. ☀️ ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL FALL WEEK AHEAD! Once we get past our chilly Sunday morning, we're looking at another fantastic stretch of November weather! Temperatures will gradually climb back into the 70s early in the week, with plenty of sunshine and limited rainfall opportunities. Here's how things are shaping up: ☀️ Sunday: Partly cloudy and pleasant, near 68°. ☀️ Monday: Sunny and warmer, around 72°. 🌤️ Tuesday: Partly cloudy with highs near 74°. 🌦️ Veterans Day Wednesday: A slight chance of isolated showers, but most locations should remain dry. Highs near 75°. ☀️ Thursday: Sunshine returns as cooler air arrives, highs around 64°. 🥶 Friday: Sunny but noticeably cooler, highs near 57°. ❄️ Saturday: Even colder, with highs near 55° and overnight temperatures potentially dropping into the lower 30s! 🌧️ THE DROUGHT PROBLEM CONTINUES! Unfortunately, we're not seeing much meaningful rainfall in the upcoming forecast. Wednesday offers a slight opportunity for isolated showers, but widespread drought relief is not anticipated. While we certainly needed last week's rainfall, it's going to take additional significant rainfall events to make lasting improvements. And that brings us to our next big weather story! 🥶🚨 A MUCH STRONGER COLD FRONT NEXT WEEKEND? We're watching increasing signals for another significant push of colder air arriving late next week into next weekend! This could potentially be one of our colder air masses of the fall season so far. Current guidance suggests: ❄️ Afternoon highs falling into the 50s. 🥶 Overnight temperatures approaching the lower 30s in some locations. 🌡️ Increasing potential for more widespread frost, with some locations possibly reaching freezing. 💨 Another noticeable change in temperatures behind the cold front. BUT HERE'S THE CATCH! Despite the stronger cold front, current guidance continues to favor relatively dry conditions. That means another opportunity for colder temperatures without the beneficial widespread rainfall we desperately need. We'll continue monitoring how strong this cold front becomes and whether freezing temperatures become more widespread. 👀🦃 WHAT ABOUT THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING? Here's something we're beginning to watch a little more closely! Some longer-range guidance is hinting at additional changes in the weather pattern during the latter part of November, particularly around the late-week/weekend period before Thanksgiving. We're still too far out to determine exactly what this means for Arkansas, and confidence remains limited. However, we'll be monitoring whether the pattern becomes more active, potentially bringing additional cold fronts or opportunities for precipitation. Nothing significant is guaranteed at this point, but it's a period worth watching as we get closer! 📺 TONIGHT'S FORECAST — WATCH CENTRAL ARWX!

here is an indepth look at the week ahead! youtu.be/4AhusYqLbe4 #arwx

🥶❄️ FROST ADVISORY ISSUED! CENTRAL ARKANSAS PREPARES FOR A CHILLY SUNDAY MORNING! CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | Saturday Evening, November 7, 2026 Well, Central Arkansas, the cold air is moving in, and we're getting closer to our first widespread frost potential of the season! The National Weather Service has issued a FROST ADVISORY beginning at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT for portions of northern and north-central Arkansas, including areas near Heber Springs, Searcy, and Beebe! While the advisory doesn't cover our entire 22-county region, frost remains possible in other locations, especially across rural communities and low-lying areas. ❄️ LATEST SUNDAY MORNING FUTURECAST — 6 AM Our updated temperature guidance continues to show a chilly start to Sunday, with temperatures falling into the upper 30s and lower 40s. 🌡️ FORECAST TEMPERATURES: 🥶 Beebe: 36° 🥶 Greenbrier: 37° 🥶 Vilonia: 37° 🥶 Lonoke: 37° 🥶 Arkadelphia: 37° 🥶 Fordyce: 37° 🥶 Conway: 38° 🥶 Searcy: 38° 🥶 Malvern: 38° 🥶 Sheridan: 38° 🥶 Pine Bluff: 38° 🥶 Heber Springs: 39° 🥶 Benton: 39° 🥶 Hot Springs: 40° 🥶 Little Rock: 41° 🥶 Russellville: 41° ⚠️ FROST CAN DEVELOP ABOVE FREEZING! Even with air temperatures between 35° and 40°, exposed surfaces can become cold enough for frost to develop, particularly when skies are clear and winds are light. 🌱 PROTECT THOSE SENSITIVE PLANTS TONIGHT! If you have tender vegetation, flowers, or outdoor potted plants, consider bringing them inside or covering them before heading to bed. A widespread freeze is not currently expected, but some sheltered locations could experience colder temperatures than those shown on our Futurecast map. ☀️ SUNDAY'S WEATHER LOOKS BEAUTIFUL! After our chilly morning, we're expecting another nice November afternoon with plenty of sunshine and temperatures gradually warming into the upper 50s and lower 60s. But we're not finished talking about cold weather just yet! 👀🥶 COULD EVEN COLDER AIR ARRIVE NEXT WEEKEND? We're beginning to watch signals in the longer-range forecast guidance suggesting another push of colder air could arrive across Arkansas next weekend! It's still early, and there's plenty of uncertainty regarding the timing and intensity of that potential cold air mass.

🥶❄️ FROST POTENTIAL STILL ON THE TABLE, BUT THE LATEST FUTURECAST IS SHOWING SOME CHANGES! CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | Saturday, November 7, 2026 Well, Central Arkansas, we're getting closer to our coldest morning of the weekend, and we've got a NEW update to our frost potential! Our latest Futurecast model for 7 AM Sunday morning, November 8, is now showing temperatures generally ranging from the upper 30s to lower 40s across our coverage area. That's a little warmer than some of our previous model runs, but we're NOT completely ruling out frost just yet! 👀 🌡️ LATEST SUNDAY MORNING FUTURECAST TEMPERATURES 🥶 Malvern: 37° 🥶 Sheridan: 37° 🥶 Arkadelphia: 37° 🥶 Fordyce: 37° 🥶 Greenbrier: 38° 🥶 Vilonia: 38° 🥶 Beebe: 38° 🥶 Lonoke: 38° 🥶 Morrilton: 39° 🥶 Benton: 39° 🥶 Pine Bluff: 39° 🥶 Searcy: 39° 🥶 Little Rock: 40° 🥶 Hot Springs: 40° 🥶 Stuttgart: 40° 🥶 Russellville: 41° 🥶 Heber Springs: 41° ❄️ SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR FROST? The latest guidance has backed off somewhat on the colder temperatures we were seeing earlier. However, we're still monitoring the possibility of PATCHY FROST, particularly across southern and southwestern portions of our coverage area. Locations around Malvern, Sheridan, Arkadelphia, and Fordyce could have some of the better opportunities for frost development. ⚠️ REMEMBER — FROST CAN DEVELOP ABOVE 32°! Even with air temperatures in the middle and upper 30s, exposed surfaces can cool enough for frost to form, especially in rural communities and sheltered valleys. 🌱 SHOULD YOU PROTECT YOUR PLANTS? If you have frost-sensitive plants outdoors, especially in colder rural locations, taking a few precautions tonight would still be a good idea. A widespread freeze is NOT indicated by this latest guidance. 👀 WHAT WE'RE WATCHING TONIGHT A few things could make a difference in how cold we get: 🌙 Clear skies allowing temperatures to fall more efficiently. 💨 Light or calm winds favoring additional cooling. 🌡️ Local temperature differences, particularly across valleys and rural areas. Small changes in any of these factors could determine whether frost develops in your neighborhood. ☀️ WHAT ABOUT THE DAYS AHEAD? The good news is that our overall weather pattern remains quiet! We'll continue seeing plenty of sunshine and generally dry conditions, with afternoon temperatures gradually recovering into the upper 60s and lower 70s early next week. Unfortunately, that also means limited opportunities for additional drought relief in the short term. 📺 MORE COMING UP IN OUR EVENING FORECAST!

🥶❄️ FROST POTENTIAL CONTINUES TO INCREASE! CENTRAL ARKANSAS, GET READY FOR A COLD SUNDAY MORNING! CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | Friday, November 6, 2026 We've been tracking this weekend's cold air for several days now, and our latest Futurecast model continues to show a growing potential for WIDESPREAD FROST ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING! 👀🥶 After enjoying temperatures near 70° this afternoon, things are about to change in a BIG way! A colder air mass will settle across the region this weekend, sending temperatures into the 30s by early Sunday morning. ❄️ SUNDAY MORNING FROST POTENTIAL — 6 AM Our latest high-resolution Futurecast guidance is showing temperatures falling into the middle and upper 30s across much of our 22-county coverage area! 🌡️ PROJECTED TEMPERATURES: ❄️ Beebe: 34° ❄️ Arkadelphia: 34° ❄️ Vilonia: 35° ❄️ Lonoke: 35° ❄️ Malvern: 35° ❄️ Sheridan: 35° ❄️ Fordyce: 35° ❄️ Searcy: 36° ❄️ Greenbrier: 36° ❄️ Pine Bluff: 36° ❄️ Benton: 37° ❄️ Heber Springs: 37° ❄️ Stuttgart: 37° ❄️ Russellville: 38° ❄️ Little Rock: 39° ❄️ Hot Springs: 39° ⚠️ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR OUR AREA? The latest model guidance suggests that conditions could become favorable for patchy to potentially widespread frost Sunday morning. The greatest concern will be across rural communities, sheltered valleys, and low-lying locations where temperatures may fall several degrees colder than nearby urban areas. REMEMBER: Frost does NOT require air temperatures to reach 32°! Frost can develop on exposed surfaces even when temperatures a few feet above the ground remain in the middle or upper 30s. 🌱 TIME TO PROTECT THOSE SENSITIVE PLANTS! If you've still got flowers, gardens, or other frost-sensitive vegetation outdoors, now is the time to begin making preparations! ✅ Bring potted plants indoors when possible. ✅ Cover sensitive plants before temperatures fall Saturday night. ✅ Keep an eye on updated forecasts, especially if you live in rural or low-lying locations. 🥶 WHAT ABOUT A FREEZE? At this time, our guidance favors frost rather than a widespread freeze across Central Arkansas. However, isolated locations could approach freezing if skies remain clear, winds become calm, and temperatures fall more efficiently than currently projected. We're also continuing to monitor the potential for another chilly morning early Monday. ☀️ THE GOOD NEWS? We have a beautiful stretch of mostly sunny and dry fall weather ahead! Saturday will be noticeably cooler, with afternoon highs generally in the 50s, followed by another cool day Sunday. Temperatures should gradually recover early next week, with highs returning to the upper 60s and lower 70s. 📡 WE'RE WATCHING THIS CLOSELY! We'll continue comparing the latest model runs and monitoring the potential for frost advisories as we approach the weekend. Remember, these are Futurecast model projections, and actual temperatures will depend on cloud cover, wind speeds, and local conditions. 📺 MORE COMING UP IN OUR EVENING FORECAST!

Some of our coldest temperatures of the season could be just around the corner! And yes, FROST IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS! 👀🥶 🌙 TONIGHT'S FORECAST — CLEAR & COOL!

A cooler air mass will settle across Arkansas this weekend, bringing afternoon highs down into the upper 50s and lower 60s! 📅 SATURDAY: Mostly sunny with a high near 57°. 📅 SUNDAY: Sunny with a high near 60°. But the bigger concern will be what happens overnight Saturday into Sunday morning! ❄️ FROST POTENTIAL INCREASING — SUNDAY MORNING! Our latest high-resolution Futurecast model is showing temperatures falling into the middle and upper 30s across much of Central Arkansas early Sunday morning. 🌡️ SUNDAY 6 AM FUTURECAST TEMPERATURES: ❄️ Sheridan: 34° ❄️ Arkadelphia: 34° ❄️ Lonoke: 35° ❄️ Beebe: 35° ❄️ Fordyce: 35° ❄️ Benton: 36° ❄️ Searcy: 36° ❄️ Pine Bluff: 36° ❄️ Morrilton: 37° ❄️ Heber Springs: 37° ❄️ Stuttgart: 37° ❄️ Little Rock: 38° ❄️ Russellville: 38° ⚠️ WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Conditions could become favorable for frost across a large portion of our coverage area, particularly in rural communities, sheltered valleys, and locations where temperatures fall into the lower and middle 30s. Remember, frost can develop even when the air temperature remains above freezing! 🌱 IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE PLANTS OUTDOORS, START PREPARING NOW! While a widespread hard freeze is NOT currently indicated, some localized colder locations could approach the freezing mark. Frost potential may also linger into Monday morning, especially in colder rural locations. Actual frost development will depend on cloud cover, wind speeds, and how efficiently temperatures cool overnight. ☀️ LOOKING AHEAD — SUNSHINE RETURNS IN A BIG WAY! Once we get beyond the chilly weekend, temperatures will gradually rebound! 📅 MONDAY: Sunny — 68° / 41° 📅 TUESDAY: Sunny — 71° / 43° 🇺🇸 VETERANS DAY WEDNESDAY: Sunny — 71° / 45° 📅 THURSDAY: Sunny — 69° / 43° Our extended outlook remains overwhelmingly dry, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures eventually returning to the upper 60s and lower 70s. 🌧️ AND THAT BRINGS US BACK TO THE DROUGHT! Unfortunately, while Tuesday's rainfall was certainly welcome, the extended dry forecast means drought recovery could remain slow. We still need additional widespread rainfall events to make meaningful progress against our ongoing drought conditions. We'll continue monitoring the pattern for our next opportunity for precipitation. 📺 WATCH THE ARWX 24/7 WEATHER NETWORK!

🌧️🌱 SOME ENCOURAGING NEWS FOR CENTRAL ARKANSAS! COULD NOVEMBER FINALLY BRING SOME MUCH-NEEDED DROUGHT RELIEF? CENTRAL ARWX STORM CENTER | Thursday, November 5, 2026 After months of dealing with dry conditions, worsening drought, and elevated wildfire danger, we're finally beginning to see some encouraging signals in the longer-range outlook! The latest NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) November precipitation and drought outlooks are showing the potential for improvement across Central Arkansas! But there's a catch — we're going to need more than just one good rainfall event to get out of this drought! 🌧️ NOVEMBER PRECIPITATION OUTLOOK — ABOVE-NORMAL RAINFALL FAVORED! The latest CPC monthly precipitation outlook places ALL 22 counties in our Central ARWX coverage area within an area favoring above-normal precipitation. 💧 The outlook indicates a 33–40% probability of above-normal precipitation across the region. That's an encouraging signal, although it doesn't guarantee a wet month or specify how much rain we'll receive. After Tuesday's widespread rainfall, this is certainly something we want to see as we look toward the remainder of November! 🌱 NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE DROUGHT! The latest monthly drought outlook is also showing encouraging signs! 🟢 NORTHERN ARKANSAS: Portions of northern Central Arkansas, including areas around Clinton and near Heber Springs, are within a zone where drought removal is considered likely during November. 🌧️ CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS: Areas including Little Rock, Conway, Benton, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and surrounding communities are generally expected to see drought conditions persist, but with some improvement. ⚠️ HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART! Even with the potential for above-normal rainfall this month, widespread drought elimination is NOT currently anticipated across most of our coverage area. We still need additional rainfall events to replenish soil moisture and provide longer-lasting relief. 🔥 WHAT ABOUT WILDFIRE DANGER AND BURN BANS? Tuesday's rainfall has already helped improve short-term wildfire conditions across portions of Arkansas, with several burn bans being lifted. However, a few rainy days don't automatically eliminate the longer-term drought or wildfire concerns. Additional rainfall over the coming weeks would certainly be welcome! 👀 SO WHAT ARE WE WATCHING NEXT? Our focus now turns toward the next opportunities for meaningful rainfall during November. While the short-term forecast features a stretch of generally dry weather and much colder temperatures this weekend, the monthly outlook provides some hope that additional precipitation opportunities may develop later in the month. And with temperatures cooling as we head deeper into fall, we'll also be monitoring any changes in the larger weather pattern. 📺 MORE COMING UP IN OUR EVENING FORECAST!
