After a days of melting sleet and snow, the potential for black ice due to refreezing of water and slush on roadways will be possible over the next several days.
With prolonged subfreezing mornings across Arkansas, area creeks and ponds have frozen over or may freeze over in the coming days. Ice thickness will be less than two inches which means it will NOT be safe to walk on. To prevent unnecessary risks, its best to stay off the ice.
Winds and cold temperatures will result in wind chill values below zero for most of the state...nearly 10 degrees below zero at times across the higher terrain of the Ozarks. Some single digit wind chills will be possible further south.
Arkansas road conditions can be obtained by use of the "IDriveArkansas" website or app. A key resource for the latest road conditions across the state, especially as the roads improve in some spots and remain hazardous in other due to the winter storm over the past two days.
