The National Weather Service (NWS) in Little Rock is monitoring the potential for wintry precipitation across Arkansas late Thursday night into Friday, January 9-10. Portions of southern Arkansas, including Bradley County, have a 20-30% probability of seeing significant snow and sleet accumulations of over three inches. This is slightly lower than areas in central Arkansas, where probabilities are higher at 30-40%.
The storm system is expected to bring abundant moisture, which could result in a mix of rain, sleet, and snow across the region. While Bradley County and nearby areas may not see the heaviest accumulations, residents should still be prepared for hazardous road conditions and disruptions to travel if wintry weather materializes.
It is important to note that all of this information is very preliminary. Forecasts will be updated as more data becomes available, and the details regarding precipitation type and amounts may change over the coming days.
The NWS encourages residents in Bradley County and across south Arkansas to stay informed and take early precautions. For the latest weather information, visit weather.gov/lzk.
