LITTLE ROCK, Ark – Temperatures this fall have remained warmer than normal nearly every day. These above-average temperatures will become well above average on Thursday.
The Arkansas Storm Team is forecasting temperatures near 90° Thursday afternoon. This is more than 10° above the normal high of 79°.
90° won’t break the record of 94° set back in 1956, but it is later than normal. Little Rock’s average last day in the 90s is Sept. 14. If we hit 90° Thursday that would be three weeks behind schedule. The latest 90° day is Oct. 23 set back in 2003.
90° this time of year is warmer than normal, but not rare. 20 of the 31 days in October have records in the 90s.
A cold front will quickly cool us back to normal Friday. Highs will be in the 70s this weekend.
