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

.DAY ONE...THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT

RAIN CHANCES WILL BE INCREASING LATE THIS EVENING AND DURING THE 
OVERNIGHT HOURS AS A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. A FEW 
SLEET PELLETS CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED ACROSS THE NORTH LATE TONIGHT BUT 
NO ACCUMULATION OR TRAVEL CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

RAIN IS EXPECTED AREA WIDE ON FRIDAY BUT THE SYSTEM WILL BE A QUICK 
MOVER...EXITING THE REGION BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR EARLY FRIDAY 
EVENING. BEHIND THE SYSTEM...A SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR WILL POUR INTO THE 
REGION FOR THE WEEKEND WITH SOME OF THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES THAT WE 
HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE.  

THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...AND WITH THE 
COLD TEMPERATURES...THERE IS A CHANCE OF A WINTERY MIX ACROSS THE 
NORTHERN HALF OF THE STATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.

IN CENTRAL ARKANSAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...PRECIPITATION 
SHOULD BEGIN AS A RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN MIX. FREEZING RAIN AND OR 
SLEET IS EXPECTED FURTHER NORTH. CLOSER TO THE MISSOURI BORDER... 
SNOW IS EXPECTED INITIALLY AND THEN TRANSITION TO SLEET. WARMER AIR 
WILL ARRIVE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL 
CHANGE OVER TO A COLD RAIN OVER CENTRAL SECTIONS FAIRLY EARLY IN THE 
DAY. THE WINTER MIX MAY HOLD ON INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE FAR 
NORTH.

A DEGREE OF TWO DIFFERENCE IN THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURES BOTH ON THE 
GROUND AND ALOFT COULD DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION 
TYPE. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES AND FORECASTS FOR THIS 
DEVELOPING SITUATION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
