DISCUSSION

Issued at 1246 AM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

Latest guidance has returned a slightly warmer solution overnight across the state of Arkansas. Patchy frost will be possible in spots, but not widespread enough for the need for product issuance. Additionally, cloud cover has been noted across northern Arkansas which may hinder radiational cooling and keep temperatures from dropping as low as forecasted. As surface high pressure continues to influence the region and a colder airmass overall is noted, the greater chance for a frost and possible isolated areas of freezing temperatures will be present early Sunday morning across a larger portion of Arkansas.

Into the beginning of next week upper lvl ridging will be noted over Arkansas and temperatures will start a warming trend which place temperatures back above average for seasonal normals for this time of the year. Fair and dry conditions look to persist as PoP chances look to remain extremely low or zero over the forecast period in most locations.

A frontal boundary will approach the state going into the latter portion of the upcoming week toward the end of the forecast period; however, this appears to be a dry frontal boundary and will lack moisture. However, the boundary will lower temperatures to around normal for this time of the year.
