UPDATE 7:30AM TUE JAN 31:
The National Weather Service in Little Rock has updated the winter forecast as of 7:30 a.m. Tuesday.
After Monday’s initial round of wintry precipitation across much of the state, expect a brief break Tuesday morning before additional winter weather impacts the area. Temperatures are expected to remain near or below freezing across much of the state today and precipitation will likely fall as freezing rain or sleet through tonight.
Chances for sleet are higher across northern Arkansas with freezing rain more likely across the southern half of the state. Locations along and north of I-40, east of Little Rock, have the potential of seeing slightly less ice amounts if more sleet develops. Precipitation type will make a huge difference in terms of impacts.
Some locations could see as much as ½ inch of freezing rain through Wednesday morning. The area of greatest concern for widespread impacts from freezing rain stretches from near Mena toward Little Rock and Pine Bluff to West Memphis.
