A storm system ("L") will affect Arkansas Thursday night into Friday (January 9-10). Wintry precipitation (mainly snow/wintry mix across the south) will become likely across much of the area during this time frame. Given the projected track of the system, the potential for snow accumulations over 4 inches is highest from west central into central sections of the state.
Here is a very preliminary snowfall forecast for Thursday-Friday (January 9-10). As of now, the greatest accumulations and associated impacts are expected over west-central to central Arkansas.
The Winter Storm Severity Index is highlighting much of the central third of the state for moderate impacts due to snowfall, and portions of the Ouachita Mountains for major impacts due to snowfall Thursday through Friday.
The probabilities of heavy snow accumulations (at least 4 inches) are highest from north Texas to southeast Oklahoma and Arkansas (west central into central sections of the state) Thursday into Friday.
