Tonight's computer models continue to indicate a snow event that will bury parts of the Central Plains into the Midwest. The top image is a computer projection of snow depth by early Wednesday morning. The bottom is our FOX16 high resolution RPM total snowfall projection through Tuesday night. Both show a stripe of 1 to 2 feet of snow from Central Oklahoma and into Missouri with some even higher amounts possible. This storm will essentially shut down some cities by Tuesday afternoon including places like Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Springfield, MO, St. Louis and eventually Chicago. The heavy band of snow will cut through Northwest Arkansas, with over a foot around the Fayetteville area. North Central Arkansas, around the Harrison area, precipitation will begin as rain but quickly change to freezing rain Tuesday morning and then to snow by midday. Snow and ice accumulations will drop of rapidly going South and East. Very little or no snow accumulation is expected East of Russellville and South of Clinton. A slight shift in the track of the low pressure system will have a significant influence on snowfall amounts.
