๐ฑ๐ฅถ Stay safe out there!!!
Weโre about to get walloped by a big โole winter storm Arkansas.
Wanted to have something up for you guys when you started your day and below are just some morning thoughts.
-This will be an upper echelon winter storm. The amount of moisture, duration and expansive coverage is CRAZY.
Yโall stop asking if itโs really going to do something, lol. I promise Iโm not pranking you.
-This storm arrives Friday evening and lasts all night, all day Saturday, most if not all night Saturday and into Sunday morning.
This would be a big deal if it was just rain, but this is going to be mostly frozen precipitation (snow, sleet, freezing rain).
-Northern half of Arkansas gets a big snow, central gets a sleet/ice combo and south Arkansas is mostly freezing rain.
We will have an updated total forecast around lunch again today.
-The drive home message is this will be IMPACTFUL no matter the precipitation type. Roadways impacted, businesses closed, schools closed early next week, etc.
-South Arkansas residents have one full day left for ice storm prep, donโt wait on this. Itโs going to be VERY cold during and after the storm.
-Life threatening cold will occur during and just after the storm. Below zero temperatures will be possible.
That includes wind chills well below zero, especially over areas with heavy snowpack.
-Winter storm warnings (and some ice storm warnings for south Arkansas) are likely coming today for the state, be sure to have the Arkansas Weather Network app. It will alert you to that and more.
-I know yโall are tired of hearing about this, Iโm tired of talking about it. One more day of nothing before it is here.
Yโall stay with me, we got this!
-Zachary
