Arkansas Faces a Day of Extreme Weather Sunday: Tornadoes, Snow, and Freezing Temperatures

Arkansas is bracing for a chaotic mix of weather tomorrow, with everything from severe storms to snowfall and freezing temperatures expected in a single day. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what to anticipate:

  1. Heavy Rain Tonight: Rain chances will rise tonight and continue into Sunday morning across the state. Locally heavy downpours are possible, so keep an eye on low-lying areas prone to flooding.
  2. Severe Weather Threat Sunday Afternoon: By Sunday afternoon, eastern and southeastern Arkansas could face severe weather conditions, including strong winds and potential tornadoes. Residents in these areas are urged to stay weather aware and have a safety plan in place.
  3. Snowfall Sunday Evening: Northern Arkansas may see snowflakes flying by Sunday evening. While accumulations are expected to be minimal, it’s a reminder of the sharp contrast in weather across the state.
  4. Bitter Cold Moves In: Temperatures will drop significantly Sunday evening, with wind chills likely plunging to below zero and single digits by Monday morning. Some northern counties may drop below freezing tomorrow evening and remain there until Thursday.

Prepare Now
Residents are advised to make preparations today. Protect pipes, bring pets inside, and ensure you have adequate heating sources. If you’re in the eastern or southeastern regions, monitor weather updates closely for severe storm alerts.
