1149 AM CST Wed Feb 10 2021

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest
Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana, east
Texas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms will increase
this afternoon and tonight across much of East Texas, North
Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas ahead of an approaching upper
level disturbance. However, the threat for hazardous weather
remains low.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

Showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms will continue
across portions of East Texas, North Louisiana, and Southern
Arkansas Thursday. This will diminish by the afternoon across much
of the region, but could linger across portions of Deep East Texas
and Northcentral Louisiana. Another wave of rain will advance
northeast into East Texas and North Louisiana late Thursday night
through Friday morning, as temperatures continue to slowly fall
into the 30s across the region. Near to below freezing
temperatures are expected Friday morning across portions of North
Louisiana and Southern Arkansas, which would result in a
transition of light freezing rain especially for areas along and
just south of the Arkansas and Louisiana border. Ice accumulations
of up to a tenth of an inch will be possible across portions of
Northcentral Louisiana, especially over elevated surfaces such as
bridges and overpasses, trees and power lines.

A mixture of light snow and sleet will be possible Saturday for
portions of extreme Northeast Texas and Southwest Arkansas as a
weak upper level disturbance moves through these areas. However,
any snow or ice accumulations are expected to remain light.

Very cold temperatures are expected to settle south into the area
this weekend. Shortly after it does so, a significant winter
storm is expected to impact the region late Sunday night through
Monday night, bringing the potential for a wintry mix of snow,
sleet, and freezing rain early on in the event before
transitioning over to snow by late Monday. While it remains too
early to determine snow and ice amounts from this event, please
stay tuned to the latest forecasts from the National Weather
Service concerning the potential for winter weather Friday through
Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel...amateur radio
operators...and storm spotters should not be needed through
tonight.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, southeast Oklahoma and northeast
Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Temperatures are expected to fall to near or below freezing
tonight across the western sections of Northeast Texas, as well as
Northern McCurtain County Oklahoma and portions of Southwest
Arkansas, as areas of rain begin to overspread these areas. As it
does so, this rain may transition to light freezing rain
overnight, which may result in ice accumulations of less than a
tenth of an inch, especially on elevated surfaces such as bridges
and overpasses, trees and power lines.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

Areas of light freezing rain will be possible Thursday morning
across the western sections of Northeast Texas, Northern McCurtain
County Oklahoma, and portions of Southwest Arkansas, which may
result in continued light ice accumulations on elevated objects.
This icing threat should end by midday as temperatures climb back
above freezing and the precipitation diminishes over these areas.

Another wave of light freezing rain will be possible late Thursday
night through Friday morning across portions of Northeast Texas
and Southwest Arkansas, before temperatures climb back above
freezing by midday, as the precipitation diminishes. Light icing
accumulations will be possible on elevated objects such as
bridges and overpasses, trees and power lines.

A mixture of light snow and sleet will be possible Saturday for
portions of Southeast Oklahoma, extreme Northeast Texas, and
Southwest Arkansas as a weak upper level disturbance moves through
these areas. However, any snow or ice accumulations are expected
to remain light.

Very cold temperatures are expected to settle south into the area
this weekend. Shortly after it does so, a significant winter
storm is expected to impact the region late Sunday night through
Monday night, bringing the potential for significant accumulations
of snow to the area. While it remains too early to determine snow
amounts from this event, please stay tuned to the latest
forecasts from the National Weather Service concerning the
potential for winter weather tonight through Tuesday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel...amateur radio
operators...and storm spotters may be needed tonight for the
