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

DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS EXPIRED BUT GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE IN 
PARTS OF ARKANSAS INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. 

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

A VERY COMPLEX STORM SYSTEM WILL BE EVOLVING FROM LATE TUESDAY INTO 
WEDNESDAY. AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS 
..WILL BE SLOWLY SINKING TOWARDS THE SOUTH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL 
DAYS. THE FRONT WILL ENTER NORTHERN ARKANSAS TUESDAY NIGHT AND SLIDE 
THROUGH THE STATE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY.

MEANWHILE....SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE DEVELOPING IN EASTERN TEXAS
AND MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND INTO MISSISSIPPI TUESDAY 
NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. PLENTY OF WARM AND MOIST AIR WILL BE 
PULLED INTO THE STATE AS THESE TWO SYSTEMS ARE SET TO COLLIDE OVER 
THE MID SOUTH.

RAIN WILL BREAK OUT OVER ARKANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES ACROSS THE STATE...RAIN WILL CHANGE
TO SNOW IN THE NORTH TUESDAY NIGHT AND SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 
MOST OF WEDNESDAY. HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS
NORTHERN ARKANSAS. GENERAL ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ARE 
FORECAST AT THIS TIME WITH ISOLATED HEAVIER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. 
THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL ACROSS NORTHERN 
ARKANSAS.

A WINTER STORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN ARKANSAS FOR TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. 

FARTHER SOUTH...RAIN WILL LIKELY CHANGE TO SNOW ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE
THE PRECIPITATION ENDS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 
LIGHTER IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS BUT SOME AREAS MAY GET
ENOUGH SNOW ACCUMULATION FOR SOME HAZARDOUS TRAVEL. 

LATER FORECASTS SHOULD BE MONITORED ON THIS DEVELOPING WINTER 
WEATHER SITUATION. 

AFTER THE PRECIPITATION ENDS...BITTERLY COLD AIR WILL MOVE INTO
ARKANSAS AND WILL CONTINUE INTO CHRISTMAS DAY. LOW TEMPERATURES IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHTS. AREAS THAT GET SIGNIFICANT SNOW COVER COULD EVEN HAVE
LOW TEMPERATURES OF ZERO OR BELOW. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL NOT GET
ABOVE FREEZING IN THE NORTH THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND WILL STRUGGLE
TO GET ABOVE FREEZING ELSEWHERE.

WARMER TEMPERATURES SHOULD BEGIN TO RETURN ON SATURDAY...CHRISTMAS 
DAY.
