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

DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

AN UPPER LOW APPROACHING ARKANSAS FROM THE WEST AND SURFACE LOW 
PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW 
BACK TO THE NATURAL STATE. AS THE LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF MOVES 
ALONG THE LOUISIANA COAST...OVERRRUNING RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD 
SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON. THE RAIN WILL MOVE 
SLOWLY NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS THE SYSTEM ITSELF 
MOVES EASTWARD.

IN PARTS OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN ARKANSAS...IT WILL GET COLD ENOUGH 
THAT RAIN COULD MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOW LATE TONIGHT. HEAVY WET 
SNOW IS POSSIBLE ROUGHLY NORTH AND WEST OF A CLARKSVILLE TO MARSHALL 
TO SALEM LINE. A SNOW ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS TONIGHT 
FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW. RAIN IS EXPECTED ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE STATE.
 
DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE OUT OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA EARLY 
WEDNESDAY. IT WILL TRACK ALONG THE ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI BORDER 
DURING THE DAY BEFORE MOVING INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY WEDNESDAY EVENING.

RAIN OR SNOW IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS DURING 
THE DAY WITH ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE IN THE ADVISORY 
AREA. ELSEWHERE...RAIN WILL TAPER OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST 
DURING THE DAY AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN. WHILE WIDESPREAD TRAVEL 
PROBLEMS ARE UNLIKELY...SNOW COVERED ROADS COULD DEVELOP IN SOME 
AREAS WHERE HEAVIER SNOW FALLS.
 
MOST OF THE SNOW ACCUMULATION SHOULD BE ON GRASSY AREAS AS 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR A LITTLE ABOVE FREEZING. ACCUMULATING 
SNOWS MAY MELT OFF RAPIDLY AFTER SNOW ENDS. THE PRECIPITATION MAY 
END BRIEFLY AS SNOW IN CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS ON WEDNESDAY 
BUT NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. TRAVEL PROBLEMS LOOK UNLIKELY AT 
THIS TIME. 

WARMER WEATHER IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY SO ANY SNOW THAT DOES 
ACCUMULATE SHOULD MELT ON THURSDAY. SEVERAL DRY DAYS ARE THEN 
FORECAST WITH TEMPERATURES BACK IN THE 50S. THE NEXT CHANCE OF 
PRECIPITATION WILL BE LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS ANOTHER SURGE OF 
COLDER AIR APPROACHES. 

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
