...WINTER WEATHER AND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL BE POSSIBLE
BY THE END OF THE WEEK...

ARKANSANS ARE ADVISED TO PREPARE FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF WINTER
WEATHER AND MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE THROUGH THE STATE ON WEDNESDAY...
STALLING OUT JUST TO THE SOUTH OF ARKANSAS BY THURSDAY. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE MOVING UP NORTH OF THE FRONT...ALONG WITH SEVERAL UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEMS INTERACTING WITH THE BOUNDARY...WILL ALLOW FOR
PRECIPITATION TO BECOME FAIRLY WIDESPREAD BY LATE THURSDAY.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL SWEEP INTO THE STATE BEHIND THE FRONT AND
SPREAD ACROSS THE STATE ON FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. ONCE THE COLD
AIR MOVES IN...IT IS LIKELY THAT MUCH OF THE STATE COULD STAY BELOW
FREEZING FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

RAIN IS EXPECTED TO TRANSITION TO A MIXED BAG OF SNOW...SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN OVER THE NORTH AND NORTHWEST LATE THURSDAY EVENING OR
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO ALL SNOW. DURING THE
DAY FRIDAY...PRECIPITATION OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS IS EXPECTED TO
TRANSITION TO A SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN MIX WITH SOME SNOW MIXED IN
AT THE END. ONLY THE FAR SOUTH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN A COLD RAIN.
MOISTURE WILL BE MOVING OUT OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH
PRECIPITATION DIMINISHING AND COMING TO AN END BY SATURDAY MORNING.

PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN BY SATURDAY NIGHT...AS
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS IN THE GULF OF MEXICO AND SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEMS APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE SOUTHWEST. PRECIPITATION SHOULD
BE ALL SNOW IN THE NORTHWEST...WITH A WINTRY MIX CENTRAL AND EVEN
ACROSS THE SOUTH.

BECAUSE THERE IS A DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THESE SYSTEMS THIS
FAR OUT...POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF ANY WINTER WEATHER ARE UNCERTAIN AT
THIS POINT AND THE FORECAST CAN CHANGE.

RESIDENTS OF ARKANSAS NEED TO STAY INFORMED CONCERNING THIS
POTENTIAL WINTER WEATHER. MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM YOUR
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...AS THE FORECAST CAN AND LIKELY WILL
CHANGE TO SOME DEGREE BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE WEEK.
