On This Day In Arkansas Weather History... On October 25 and 26th, 1843, sleet and snow fell in at least central and northern Arkansas. There was snow at Fort Smith and Little Rock, but the storm was apparently heaviest in Jackson and Lawrence counties.
A marginal risk for severe weather will be possible on Wednesday and Wednesday afternoon as a strong low pressure system and surface cold front sweep across the state. Given favorable turning of winds with height provided via the incoming storm system, an isolated tornado or two will be possible over mainly southwestern Arkansas. Otherwise brief gusty winds will be possible.
The six to ten day climate outlook indicates that below normal temperatures paired with above below average temperatures are expected for the October 30th to November 3rd period.
Lows tonight will range from the upper 40s over northwest Arkansas to the mid 60s over southwest Arkansas. Isolated to scattered showers will begin developing over the west tonight as a storm system approaches.
