Residents of Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley should prepare for patchy fog overnight Sunday into Monday morning, according to the 40/29 Get Ready Weather Team. The fog is expected to be intermittent, forming in low‑lying areas and near bodies of water before lifting as the sun rises.
Temperature outlook for the week
Monday afternoon will see temperatures warming into the upper 60s to low 70s, providing a pleasant start to the work week. Tuesday and Wednesday will be slightly warmer, with highs nudging a few degrees higher than Monday. By the latter half of the week, cooler air will return, bringing temperatures back down to the mid‑50s to low 60s.
What to expect locally
The forecast is based on the latest observations from the region’s radar and satellite data, as well as surface readings from local stations. Fog formation is most likely in valleys, near the White River, and in areas where overnight humidity remains high. Drivers are advised to use low‑beam headlights and allow extra stopping distance if visibility drops below a quarter mile.
For those planning outdoor activities, the morning fog should clear quickly after sunrise, especially in open fields and higher elevations. By mid‑morning, most of the region will enjoy clear skies and gentle breezes from the west.

The 40/29 Get Ready Weather Team, led by Chief Meteorologist Darby Bybee, will continue to monitor conditions throughout the night. Residents can watch the live videocast on the station’s website or follow the team’s updates on social media.
