It’s a wintry mix in central Arkansas tonight, with the precipitation moving northeastward for a dry Monday. It will be below freezing temps overnight for a few days, according to the National Weather Service in Little Rock.
Be sure to protect your pets, pipes and plants. That means bring outside animals into warm shelter, cover your outside faucets and leave indoor faucets dripping, and cover outdoor plants or bring them inside to above-freezing temps.
