What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Little Rock, AR wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Feb 13, 12:01 AM CST, 3 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 13, 12:01 AM CST, 3 hours 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Little Rock AR 1201 AM CST Sat Feb 13 2021 .AVIATION...13/06Z TAF CYCLE MVFR conds wl cont to prevail acrs the FA thru the PD. Some flurries rmn possible ovr N AR overnight. NE winds wl also cont at generally 5 to 10 mph. /44/ && PREV DISCUSSION...(ISSUED 348 PM CST Fri Feb 12 2021) SHORT TERM...Today Through Friday Night Current satellite imagery depicts an expansive stratus deck across much of the SErn CONUS. These low clouds have lingered across the area for several days now and will continue to be with us for many more to come. The majority of the clouds lies beneath a strong inversion created by a cold arctic air mass sliding Swrd towards the Gulf Coast. Mid/high clouds can be seen streaming SW to NE above the low level stratus embedded within the SWrly flow aloft. Current radar imagery depicts a narrow band of light snow/flurries moving SWwrd over portions of S-Cntrl AR that began late this morning and still continues as of early this afternoon. This should continue for a couple more hours before the source of lift exits the region. To the N, cold arctic air is being forced to ascend up the Nrn side of the Ozarks and into the DGZ which is helping to produce flurries/light snow across the region. Temperatures this afternoon have been slow to rise thanks in part to CAA on N/NE winds and low level stratus limiting solar heating. Highs today should reach the mid 20s N, upper 20s/lower 30s Cntrl, to lower 30s over Srn AR. Tonight, lows will dip into the lower teens N to the mid 20s S. Saturday will be rather quiet locally however the next storm system will move ashore along the W coast as a shortwave traverses across the Srn Rockies. The latter system which will be crossing the Rockies should have limited to no impacts on AR weather as the system passes S of the state. The former aforementioned system moving onshore will quickly move into Rockies during the afternoon/evening and deepen into a robust trough. It is this system which will bring a variety of wintry weather to AR during the long term. Given low level clouds will linger into Saturday on cold Nrly winds, flurries will once again be possible over portions of N-Cntrl AR as air mass ascends the Ozarks from the N. Accumulations with this will be minor and limited to half an inch or less. Highs on Saturday will top out in the lower 20s N, near 30 Cntrl, and mid 30s S. Overnight, temperatures will continue to drop as colder air advects into the region with readings near 10 N, to the lower 20s S. Wind chill values are expected to range from near 0 to 10. LONG TERM...Sunday Through Thursday Arkansas is expected to see two high impact winter storm systems from Sunday through Friday of the upcoming week. This discussion will be divided into covering each storm system individually. First Winter Storm: Sunday through Monday Night... Early afternoon Water Vapor satellite imagery shows a strong shortwave trough over southern California, moving southeast towards the Texas/Mexico border. This shortwave trough is expected to remain far enough south of Arkansas that it is not currently expected to bring any large scale forcing for ascent over the state. This trough is important in that it will keep cold north to northeasterly wind near the surface over Arkansas, keeping temperatures below freezing for the entire state on Sunday. In the wake of the southern California shortwave trough a much larger trough is expected to dive southeast from the Pacific northwest over the southern United States Rockies spreading large scale forcing for ascent over the south central United States as it approaches Arkansas Sunday night into Monday morning. As the large upper trough approaches the region on Sunday, breezy north to northeasterly winds will continue at the surface while winds aloft veer around to the south and southwest. This will result in a strong warm air advection and isentropic lift scheme that will bring a strong surge of low level moisture up and over the low-level cold air in place over Arkansas. This initial lift should be enough to begin precipitation by mid-day Sunday with precipitation falling as all snow northwest of a Mena to Little Rock to Des Arc line. To the southeast of this line... for areas approximately along the Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 corridors east of Little Rock, warm air advection aloft will actually bring temperatures up above freezing at the 850 mb level. As snowfall from aloft falls into this warm layer it will melt into graupel or large rain drops before falling into the sub-freezing layer near the surface. Surface temperatures are expected to be cold enough that the graupel and rain will freeze before it reaches the ground, resulting in primarily sleet falling Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. As the large upper level trough approaches Arkansas on Monday, warm air advection will be enhanced by strong upper level lift in the form of positive differential vorticity advection. This strong large scale lift is expected to be sufficient to cause the above freezing temperatures aloft to lift and cool below freezing causing precipitation to change over to all snow across the entire state by Monday morning. Snow is expected to fall across the entire state from Monday morning throughout the day on Monday as the upper trough is forecast to become negatively tilted over Arkansas, enhancing instability aloft through differential temperature advection. This may lead to more mesoscale driven snowfall resulting in bands of heavier snowfall Monday afternoon through Monday evening. Snowfall is expected to dissipate quickly Monday evening as dry air and subsidence work over Arkansas Monday night. Storm total snowfall amounts from Sunday through Monday evening are expected to total at least 5 inches across the northwest half of the state, and may climb higher depending on mesoscale lift and support from the negatively tilted upper trough during the day on Monday. Snowfall totals include a mixture of snow and sleet, which may result in the appearance of lower snowfall totals along and southeast of the Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 corridors east of Little Rock as a significant amount of the snow accumulation may fall as sleet. At least one inch of sleet is possible which is expected to be covered by snow after the sleet is done falling. The accumulation of sleet and then snow could lead to some compacted ice covered by snow making driving conditions extremely dangerous and making it more difficult to get the snow and sleet combination off of roadways to the southeast of Little Rock. Snowfall totals may climb above 6 inches for areas northwest of Little Rock depending on how the instability and frontogenetic forcing plays out on Monday. For now went ahead with average forecast model snowfall totals of around 6 inches for most location along and northwest of the Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 corridors east of Little Rock from Sunday through Monday evening. Will continue to revise snowfall and sleet totals as the storm system approaches the state and mesoscale features can be better resolved and the range of model generated wintry precipitation narrows into something that gives us higher confidence. Winter Storm system number 2: Tuesday night through Thursday. With mostly clear skies Tuesday morning in between storm systems, low temperatures are expected to fall to incredibly cold temperatures for Arkansas as much of northern Arkansas will likely see temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit with lows falling into the single digits across the entire state. This cold air will warm up a bit as the next strong upper level storm system approaches from the southern United States Rockies again as warm air advection and cloud cover will help bring temperatures up into the mid to upper teens across the state. With a very cold air mass in place out ahead of this second storm system we expect that we will see more snow than sleet with this second storm system... but sleet is still likely across the far southeastern portion of the state. Will not go into great detail on this second storm system, but in terms of overall strength and moisture involved, the snowfall totals look like they are on par to be nearly the same as our first winter storm system on Sunday through Monday. That does mean that there is a chance for the state to pick up an additional 4 to 6 inches of snow Wednesday through Thursday, bringing the weekly snowfall totals up to 10 to 12 inches. It is unlikely that 10 to 12 inches of snow will ever be present on area roadways as there is at least a 24 to 36 hour gap between storm systems, giving road crews time to treat roadways and move snow. Also Sunday through Monday snowfall will likely become more compacted, and some of the snow will dissipate through the impact of breezy winds sublimating some of the Sunday - Monday snowfall. Bottom line is, although the week long snowfall totals look dire, it is important to keep in mind that this wintry precipitation will fall in two discrete storm systems which does not equate to 10 to 12 inches of snow to fall or be in place at any given time. We will of course be updating the forecast as these storm systems get closer to the state of Arkansas, but it's safe to say that we will experience two high impact winter storm systems in the coming week, and it is best to prepare now for the extremely cold temperatures and the sleet and snow accumulations of Sunday and Monday and then Wednesday and Thursday. && .LZK Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Otherwise, cold apparent temperatures will be main hazard. Wind chill values overnight are expected to range from near 0 over the north to mid teens across southern Arkansas. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday Through Thursday Wintry weather will be seen Sunday morning through Monday evening as a strong storm system moves through the region. A high impact winter storm system is expected with primarily snow falling along and north of the Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 corridor east of Little Rock. At least 5 inches of snow are expected in this area with higher totals possible. To the southeast of Interstate 30 and Interstate 40 a mixture of sleet and snow is more likely. Although snowfall totals do not look as high in these locations, at least one inch of sleet is likely to fall before being covered by snow. Between heavy snow in the northwest and sleet covered by snow in the southeastern half of the state, very dangerous travel conditions are expected by Monday across the entire state. Much colder air will settle over the state this weekend and into the middle of next week as an arctic air mass builds over the area. This will be the coldest air of the winter so far and possibly some of the coldest we have seen in many years. Low temperatures Sunday through Wednesday mornings will be in the single digits and teens. Highs Sunday through Tuesday will mostly be in the teens and 20s. Expect wind chills to be even more significant...with wind chills dipping well below zero for a good portion of the area Sunday through Tuesday mornings. An additional round of winter weather will be possible on Wednesday and into Thursday with another round of accumulating snow likely. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation will not be needed. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web. Go to http://weather.gov/lzk. Cavanaugh
