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.

Here are a few graphics on the upcoming deep freeze across the country this week that show wind chill and snow chances. It looks like Central Arkansas is in for some potential ice or wintry mix. I’m going to post another update tomorrow once the weather forecast models have updated so I can give you a better picture at what to expect in Arkansas. Stay safe, stay warm, and avoid travel later this week if possible until the roads thaw out!

Severe weather is going to occur throughout the day. So far, we’re being spared the brunt of the tornadic activity, but expect heavy rain and thunderstorms today.

There’s a high chance of severe weather on Tuesday. The worst of it will likely stay in Louisiana, but Arkansas will likely still see its share of severe thunderstorms as well. As conditions worsen, I’ll update here.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for parts of Arkansas this evening. Here’s a look at the advisory map, plus a look at areas of low visibility. #ARWX

Here are a couple of graphics summarizing the weather for Arkansas over the weekend and early next week.

For this weekend (especially Saturday), the rain won’t be letting up, only getting a little stronger and seeing more of it.

There’s also a chance of severe weather on Tuesday. There was a chance for it on Monday as well, but the SPC has downgraded it. I’ll continue to monitor and update here when needed. I’ll also talk more about next week’s severe weather in tomorrow’s Weekly Wrap Up on my other weather blog.

After much of a dreary evening, we are finally under a Dense Fog Advisory across much of Arkansas. Here’s a map of the counties under it, plus a look at areas of low visibility.
