This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Southern/Southeastern
Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight
Colder air will continue to move south through Arkansas today.
Temperatures will continue to fall, and will likely remain in the
30s across the central and southern portions of Arkansas during
the day. Precipitation will transition to a wintry mix over
southern Arkansas into the afternoon hours. It will likely mix
and change over several times before ending by late this evening.
Some minor sleet and snowfall accumulations are possible in
southern and southeastern Arkansas on grassy areas and elevated
surfaces. However, warm ground temperatures should limit
accumulations on area roadways, so impacts, if any, are expected
to be minimal.
Temperatures tonight into Wednesday morning will drop into the
20s across the entire state. Some patchy ice could develop on wet
road surfaces in southern Arkansas, specially on bridges and
overpasses, which could cause localized travel impacts.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday Through Monday
The remainder of the week will be dry. We are currently monitoring
the next system expected into the region by early next week which
could provide wintry precipitation Sunday night into Monday.
Continue to monitor latest forecasts for updates as this system
evolves.
.Spotter Information Statement...
Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time.
