Portions of northern, western, and central Arkansas (including the Ozark/Ouachita Mountains) are expected to receive the greatest snowfall accumulations (6 to 8 inches). A large portion of the state will have impactful snowfall. Uncertainties remain on the exact placement of greatest totals, including enhanced totals from banding.
Ice accumulation totals have increased across southern Arkansas from previous forecast packages. Maximum ice accruals from a tenth to a quarter inch are possible. The risk for ice is highest Thursday night. Uncertainty still remains on the potential for higher ice accruals.
Timing this out...snow (and some sleet in places) will spread across northern and central Arkansas on Thursday, with a wintry mix expected in the southern counties. Precipitation will continue Thursday night/Friday morning before tapering off from the west.
