Snow/Rain mixture possible for Northwest Arkansas

Temperatures may cool enough to support a rain/snow mix or all snow across parts of the area Wednesday night into early Thursday. The best chances for any light accumulations will be closer to the Oklahoma and Kansas border and possibly into parts of northwest Arkansas as the system exits.

A mixture of snow and rain is possible Wednesday night and Thursday for Northwest Arkansas, according to the National Weather service in Tulsa.

A front is expected to move through the area Wednesday with increasing rain chances throughout the day. With temperatures decreasing, a light accumulation is possible in Northwest Arkansas, but the best chance for accumulation is along the Oklahoma and Kansas border, according to the National Weather Service.

"A system will bring rain and snow to the state Wednesday morning through late Thursday night," the National Weather Service in Little Rock said. "Snow will be most likely Wednesday night through Thursday morning with the greatest chances for accumulations (in Arkansas) in Northwest Arkansas."

Sub-freezing temperatures are expected across the state tonight and into Tuesday morning, including a low that is expected to hit 20 degrees in Fayetteville.

A mixture of rain and snow is possible for some other parts of the state, including Little Rock and other parts of Central Arkansas, by Thursday morning, meteorologists said. Accumulations are less likely outside of Northwest Arkansas, according to the weather service.
