Sunset and contrails, 4:57 p.m. It the moisture is in the atmosphere, these contrails show up frequently here in Little Rock, one reason is that some air 'highways' cross here. We usually see more contrails here than in bigger cities because most planes don't land here like they do in Chicago or Dallas, so they usually don't see as many contrails.
