Here We Snow Again


If you haven't noticed we've bumped up the snowfall total for tomorrow.  Judging from the last several runs of the computer models and the dynamics at play here, we're seeing the potential for 1-3" in Central Arkansas with greater totals up north of I-40.  The most troubling issue is the timing of the event.  Most of the heavy snowflakes will likely fall around noon and last through the afternoon hours causing headaches for drivers trying to pick up their kids or commuters coming back from work during the early evening period.

Considering all of these elements, Chief Meteorologist Jeff Baskin has declared Thursday a Severe Weather Alert Day.  In other words, be on the lookout for hazardous winter weather conditions.

To add insult to injury, we've got another snow maker just waiting in the wings for early next week.  We'll have more details about this storm system coming up in the next few blog posts.
