Little Rock, AR – A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for much of Arkansas, effective Friday night through late Saturday night, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Little Rock. Forecast models show the potential for 4 to 10 inches of snow in central and northern parts of the state.
The NWS said far eastern counties are not yet under the watch but could be added within 24 hours as forecast confidence increases. The system is expected to bring widespread snowfall beginning late Friday, with heavier accumulations likely north of Little Rock.
Forecasters warn that ice accumulation is also possible, particularly across southern and southeastern Arkansas, though amounts remain uncertain. Any freezing rain could further complicate travel and raise the risk of power outages.
Officials urge Arkansans to monitor forecast updates closely as conditions may shift. With travel expected to deteriorate late Friday and Saturday, residents should prepare for dangerous road conditions and possible delays.
