More Freezing Rain for Wednesday Night & Thursday

by

Scroll down for 7-day extended forecast.

Moisture will continue to move across the state through Thursday bringing primarily freezing rain to Arkansas. While isolated pockets of sleet and snow can not be ruled out, freezing rain will be the primary concern tonight and into Thursday.

There will likely be an extended period of ice accumulation overnight which could cause significant concerns for elevated surfaces including powerlines and trees.

On Thursday, temperatures could briefly rebound, warming enough for freezing rain concerns to lessen with just a cold rain possible for some. Temperature trends will need to be closely watched to monitor this potential.

As rain departs the state Thursday night, colder air will again surge southward which could lead to a brief period of light snow before precipitation comes to an end areawide.
