WARREN, Ark. – The National Weather Service in Little Rock has issued an updated weather outlook for early next week, with the latest data suggesting significant winter weather will remain north of the Arkansas-Missouri border. While heavy snow and ice are not expected to impact South Arkansas, residents in southeast portions of the state should remain alert for potential severe weather.
The map provided by the NWS highlights the axis of the highest probability of heavy snow (3 inches or more) and ice accumulation (0.10 inches or more) concentrated well to the north. However, Southeast Arkansas, including Bradley County and surrounding areas, could see severe thunderstorms due to unstable atmospheric conditions.
Severe weather threats include heavy rainfall, strong winds, and the possibility of isolated tornadoes. The National Weather Service emphasizes the importance of monitoring updates and staying prepared as the situation develops.
This weather setup is expected to unfold early next week, and residents are encouraged to keep an eye on local forecasts for more precise timing and impacts.
