I don't count on seeing a whole lot of sunshine today. A weak storm system in Missouri is crowding our sky with cloud cover and a few light showers in Northwest Arkansas today. As we progress through the afternoon we'll stay around the upper 40's near 50 degrees. After sunset there could be a few lingering light showers in Central Arkansas but no snow flurries are on the table.
EARLY WEEK: Monday will start off with some left over cloud cover early in the morning but a good dose of afternoon sunshine is in store for the state. Temperatures could be just a couple degrees below normal in the mid upper 40's depending on when the clouds clear out. Tuesday we'll see a mixture of clouds and sunshine while temperatures will be slightly cooler in the mid 40's since a weak cold front will pass through the region. I'm still not confident on the idea of snowflakes falling Monday night/Tuesday morning so I may leave out the chances of that in the next newscast.
LATER THROUGH THE WEEK: Get a little more dose of sunshine and get temperatures back on track to the upper 40's. Eventually by Friday, we may rise up to the low 50's.
NEXT WEEKEND: Saturday looks decent with some sunshine and temperatures generally in the 40's but there are hints that a strong cold front will slip here sometime Sunday. The long range models are quite clear when we fall behind the front we'll quickly dip back to the 20's and 30's.
Also a quick note, the European model (ECMWF) is suggesting a snow event for the first day of February. Since this solution is way out past seven days, there is not a great deal of confidence with this scenario playing out. We'll certainly keep it in the back of our minds as we forecast in the near future.
