Wind Chills in the Teens; Chance of Freezing Rain Sat Morning

by

Temperatures are in the 20s Friday morning.

Some patchy freezing drizzle or light freezing rain will be possible Saturday morning around sunrise, according to the National Weather Service in Little Rock. Then as temperatures warm throughout the day, expect all wintry weather to end.

The best chances for seeing any ice accumulation will be in the higher terrain of the Ozarks and Ouachitas, with maybe a light glaze elsewhere. This ice may create some hazardous travel conditions Saturday morning.

Some isolated thunderstorms may be seen Saturday afternoon through Sunday as a cold front moves south into the region. At this time, the threat for severe weather looks limited. Some locally heavy rainfall could be seen, which may result in some isolated flash flooding.

By early next week, the threat for organized hazardous weather looks to become low.
