TODAY: A cloudy morning will give way to a partly sunny sky this afternoon. Temperatures that were once thought to be in the mid 40's will exceed expectations and surge to the low 50's today. Meanwhile spotty showers will hover around Northwest and Southwest Arkansas.
TONIGHT: An upper level low will force it's way in here overnight into early Monday morning. Creating an environment for scattered showers to roam free and temperatures falling to the 40's and 30's. While you're coming back from the Super Bowl party we'll still have liquid precipitation falling. Yet after midnight, there could be enough cold air advection (winds carrying cold air into our region) that our precipitation may switch over to a wintry mix or possibly snowflakes.
TOMORROW MORNING: Since temperatures were well above freezing today and temperatures will be hovering around freezing early tomorrow morning, we suspect that the roads will NOT accumulate any snow/ice. However other surfaces such as your grass or your car could see an inch or more. Roads will be wet and a little slick but for the most part driveable.
REST OF MONDAY: Clouds will slowly depart and we'll have temperatures aim for the 40's.
WEDNESDAY: Still looks bad at this point. An surface low will get tangled up on the Gulf Coast of Texas and head east-northeast. On the backside of the system, we'll see heavy snow fall over most of Central Arkansas. It is hard to pinpoint how much we'll see this early but it does look more than 2 to 3". This looks almost on par with the snow storm we saw earlier on January 9th so be prepared. The storm system won't be done with the snow until early Thursday morning. Of course we'll have more updates coming up on FOX 16 this evening after the big game.
The rest of this upcoming work week will be cold with temperatures at or just below freezing. The nice warm up looks to be coming one week from today with temperatures back in the upper 40's/low 50's range.
There you go, you've just been filled in. Have a great Super Bowl Sunday! Go Pack! Go!
That's right - Go Packers!
