HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
500 AM CST SUN FEB 16 2003

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

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ARCTIC AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO ARKANSAS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD 
FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE STATE YESTERDAY. A LARGE TROF OF LOW 
PRESSURE IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE HAS YET TO MOVE 
THROUGH. THIS TROUGH WILL KEEP LOTS OF LOW CLOUDS AND MOISTURE OVER 
THE STATE TODAY. A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL HELP KEEP 
THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION GOING.

TEMPERATURES ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS HAVE DROPPED BELOW FREEZING 
AND ARE EXPECTED TO STAY THERE ALL DAY. AREAS OF DRIZZLE OR EVEN 
BRIEF SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH OUT THE DAY. THE TEMPERATURE 
STRUCTURE OF THE ATMOSPHERE IS SUCH THAT THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL 
AS EITHER FREEZING RAIN OR DRIZZLE OR LIGHT SNOW. WHILE ONLY TRACE 
AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED...IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE BIT 
OF FREEZING PRECIPITATION TO CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS. BRIDGES AND 
OVERPASSES WILL BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO FREEZING UP. AS SUCH...A 
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN ARKANSAS THIS 
MORNING. THE FREEZING PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO 
JUST SNOW THIS AFTERNOON WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS 
WITH ONLY PATCHY DRIZZLE OR BRIEF SHOWERS EXPECTED. HOWEVER...IF 
THE COLDER AIR DOES MANAGE TO SURGE A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH...SOME 
PATCHY FREEZING PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE. ANY PRECIPITATION 
OVER SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WILL JUST BE RAIN.

THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FINALLY MOVE EASTWARD 
TONIGHT TAKING THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES WITH IT.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THOROUGH SATURDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
