This Day in Arkansas Weather History…Little Rock and North Little Rock Record Their Earliest Freezes, October 20, 1989…On October 20, 1989, nearly all of Arkansas saw an early freeze.
Most areas fell into the 20s to lower 30s. Teens were recorded in some valley areas of the north and northwest. Only a few locations in the south and east didn’t record a freeze. Little Rock recorded a low of 29.
This marked the earliest freeze at Little Rock since 1952, and to date remains the earliest freeze on record. North Little Rock also recorded its earliest freeze, with a low of 32. #arwx#wxhistory
