Special Statement
Statement as of 2:53 PM CST on February 10, 2012

Arctic high pressure will build into the region this weekend.
Well below normal temperatures are in the forecast... with perhaps
the coldest air of the winter thus far. High temperatures Saturday
and Sunday will only be in the 30s and 40s... with some 20s in the
northwest. Low temperatures by Sunday morning will only be in the
teens and lower 20s.

Heading into next week... it will remain cold on Monday as a
new storm system approaches from the Southern Plains. The system
will pull moisture northward from the Gulf Coast... and wintry
precipitation will break out.

As Monday begins... snow and sleet are expected in northern and
central Arkansas. In the southern counties... there may be a
combination of rain and freezing rain. The rush hour drive could
be tricky across much of the state.

As the day progresses... warmer air will try to overspread the
region from the south. Snow should continue toward the Missouri
border... with rain or snow in central sections and rain in the
south.

This could be a significant winter event I parts of the state.
The pattern is very complex... and forecast tweaks are likely
leading up to the event. Arkansans are advised to monitor
the forecast this weekend... and plan accordingly.
