A Few Flakes?

Some snow is on the way to Central Arkansas, but don't get too excited about the prospect of a snow day or building a snowman. A fast moving upper air disturbance will quickly scoot across The State Wednesday morning, bringing a few rain and snow showers to the area. Our Future Forecast model run from Monday evening shows a mix of light rain and snow showers for Wednesday morning.

 

The upper system will have very little moisture to work with, and as a result precipitation is likely to be scattered and very light. In addition, temperatures will be just above freezing allowing any snow the does fall to essentially melt as it hits the ground. As a result, no significant accumulation is expected. Below are the forecast snow amounts from our high resolution computer model. Most areas will receive little or no snowfall, with only a fraction of an inch at most in a few spots.

 

Drier will move in late Wednesday finally clearing out our skies for the end of the week, although temperatures will remain below normal through the weekend.
