THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE COMBINATION OF FALLING TEMPERATURES...AND BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS
BEHIND THE RECENT COLD FRONT...WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE
TEENS ACROSS NORTH ARKANSAS TODAY...WHILE IN THE 20S OVER MUCH OF
THE REST OF THE STATE. TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY COLD WITH
TEENS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS. WINDS WILL LOWER
TONIGHT...BUT WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWER TO SINGLES IN MANY
LOCATIONS.

TONIGHT...DUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES...THE WET AND SLUSHY ROADWAYS
WILL AGAIN FREEZE...AND MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO USE EXTRA CAUTION IF
TRAVELING ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE REGION...KEEPING BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT ARKANSAS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...THE NEXT WEATHER SYSTEM WILL AFFECT
ARKANSAS...ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE...AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE STATE...AND SPREAD
PRECIPITATION TO ARKANSAS. CHANCES FOR RAIN AND SNOW WILL INCREASE
FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...LINGERING INTO
FRIDAY. ONLY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED AT THIS TIME...
MAINLY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ARKANSAS.

AFTER THIS SYSTEM...CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
THEN THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE PLAINS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
