Heavy rain and lightning across Arkansas this afternoon for the severe weather occurring. We are under an Aerial Flood Watch. We’re not under any other Tornado-related alerts at the moment, and I’m not seeing any wind shear yet developing in the storms. Some areas are experiencing a little hail, but I haven’t see any yet here. It’s still a good idea to stay in today and monitor the weather in case conditions worsen, but at the moment, we’re seeing mostly heavy rain and lightning.

The Severe Risk for Monday has been upgraded to Enhanced for Central Arkansas. I’ll continue to monitor the severe weather and post any updates here.

Today we’ll continue to see some rain. We’ll likely see some severe weather on Monday as well. As conditions worsen, I’ll update here.

There’s a potential for some severe weather on Arkansas for Thursday. If conditions worsen, I’ll update here.

Here’s the Baron Forecast Model showing potential ice in Hot Springs 4AM Monday. Here’s also a look at the future snow and sleet accumulations for Arkansas. I’ll continue to monitor the situation. Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus is on his way to Arkansas!

With the exception of part of Northern Arkansas, most of the state already received their “White Christmas” early, and it looks like no new snow will arrive on Christmas.

It’s snowing in Hot Springs!

It’s freezing cold out there today, and only going to get colder! Stay warm!

Central Arkansas is under a Wind Chill Advisory for the upcoming Winter Weather event this Christmas Week. So far, the (Baron) weather forecast model is showing the bulk of the wintry precipitation will miss Hot Springs (although it could still spit a little frozen precipitation our way). The rain/snow/ice/sleet/freezing rain accumulations seem to miss Central Arkansas for anything that would be measurable. Road conditions forecast show slippery roads for Hot Springs at times, but the bulk of the freezing stuff missing us. Here’s a look at some graphics to show what to expect with this Winter Weather event.
