... Winter Storm Watch in effect from late Sunday night through
Monday afternoon...
The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued a Winter
Storm Watch... which is in effect from late Sunday night through
Monday afternoon.
* Timing... snow should begin across north central and west central
Arkansas later Sunday night. A wintry mix of snow... sleet and
freezing rain will eventually spread eastward over the remainder
of the area on Monday. Most of the precipitation will taper off
by late Monday and early Monday evening.
* Snow accumulations... 2 to 4 inches of snow is expected to
accumulate across much of northern Arkansas and the higher
elevations of the Ouachita Mountains in west central Arkansas.
Meanwhile... 1 to 2 inches of snowfall is possible over west
central Arkansas... before the precipitation changes over to a
mixture of snow... sleet... freezing rain and rain on Monday.
* Ice accumulations... ice accumulations of 0.10 to 0.20 of an inch
will be possible over much of west central Arkansas on Monday...
generally along and south of the Arkansas River valley. This
will greatly depend on the expected changeover from snow to
sleet and freezing rain... as well as surface temperature trends
on Monday.
* Impact... travel conditions will be treacherous starting late
Sunday night and continuing on Monday... as roadways become ice
and snow covered.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant
snow... sleet... or ice accumulations that may impact travel.
