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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A FEW FLURRIES WILL MAY LINGER OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS THIS MORNING...
OTHERWISE NO ADDITIONAL WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.

THE COMBINATION OF FALLING TEMPERATURES...AND BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS
BEHIND THE RECENT COLD FRONT...WILL PRODUCE SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILL
VALUES ACROSS NORTH ARKANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING. WIND CHILL INDICES
WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE TEENS STATEWIDE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF
THE DAY.

MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO USE CAUTION IF TRAVELING ACROSS NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL ARKANSAS...AS MANY ROADS REMAIN COVERED BY SNOW AND SLUSH.
ANY STANDING WATER WILL LIKELY REFREEZE TONIGHT AS THE MERCURY FALLS
INTO THE TEENS AND 20S.

.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 PROGGED TO AFFECT ARKANSAS
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THIS SYSTEM WILL AFFECT MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF THE STATE...AS THE CENTER OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES SOUTH
OF THE STATE. 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 SOUTH HALF OF ARKANSAS.

CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH THE NEXT
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION EARLY NEXT WEEK AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS
SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE PLAINS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
