Winter Storm in Arkansas, November 14, 2022

November 14, 2022 · NWS TSA · 1 event in 1 county or zone

A strong upper level disturbance translated through the Southern Plains on the 14th. Precipitation began across northwestern Arkansas as rain, but quickly changed to snow as layers of dry air above the ground evaporated some of the precipitation, and subsequently cooled the air column enough to support a complete transition to snow.

What happened

The episode as NWS TSA wrote it up.

A strong upper level disturbance translated through the Southern Plains on the 14th. Precipitation began across northwestern Arkansas as rain, but quickly changed to snow as layers of dry air above the ground evaporated some of the precipitation, and subsequently cooled the air column enough to support a complete transition to snow. One to three inches of snow accumulated across much of northwestern Arkansas, with up to four to four and a half inches across portions of Washington County.
