One Extreme To Another

-
     At 28° tonight here in the Little Rock Metro area we are wayy warmer tonight than we was last night. Last night we got down to potentially deadly cold temperatures. Now thankfully due a Massive amount of Weather Information, tips and hints and keeping people informed we didn't have any problems. That's what I Love about doing this. Educating people on the Weather, and teaching people how to properly prepare and handle extreme weather. Then when everything goes smoothly, I Feel accomplished. Like my job is done you know. It's a great feeling. Now I mentioned in My Last Update that there was a CHANCE for some frozen stuff this weekend. That chance has become more prominent now, and I'm starting to worry. Now folks understand something. I'm not expecting an Ice Storm. In no way, shape, or form do I think this will be a HUGE deal around Arkansas. But however, it will be just enough to cause some serious problems on those roads. Now two tenths of an inch of Ice accumulations don't SOUND like much in the real world. But then again, it doesn't take much Ice to cause serious issues. Come Saturday Night once this stuff start falling BE VERY CAREFUL. LOTS of People here In Arkansas Die every year in Car Crashes. Half of those Crashes are during Bad Weather. Mainly due to the Lack of Responsibility. People get out on these roads and do what they want instead of what they're told and it always bites them in the ass. I get VERY tired of hearing about people dying in Car Crashes here in Arkansas because folks want to Drive Fast and be Stupid. When those roads slick up, Stay at Home!!!  If you have to drive,  DRIVE SLOW AND BE CAREFUL. Its just that Simple.
  Now Im expecting this stuff to Start LATE Saturday Night, maybe before Midnight in Southwest Arkansas. By then it will start to spread North up I30 as we advance on into the Early morning Hours on Sunday. The Temperatures are expected to be below freezing at this time here at the ground level. The temperatures will be above freezing in the air right up above our heads which is why we will get freezing rain. It will be normal rain that freeze when it hit the ground or objects on it. That's whats called Freezing Rain. This will last on through the Morning on Sunday and Possibly into Sunday Afternoon. At some point it will change over to a plain old rain and we will have that until Sunday evening.

Now This Forecast will change as the days progress. It is only Thursday right now so there's still a long way to go. 

As Always I appreciate all of you for choosing the Arkansas Weather Hawk to be Your go to guy for weather information. Have a Good and Warm Night Everybody!!!!

     Hey everybody, I hope everybody is having a Fantastic night so far, and I hope everybody is safe. Over the last week, I've been watching a Storm System moving through tomorrow afternoon. The Main threats will be Limited Due to the timing of day, and the level of severity will be limited due to the lack of Instability. See Below.      This is a map courtesy of the National Weather Service in North Little Rock, as you can see here the Primary Threats will be Large Hail, and Damaging Thunderstorm Winds. Tornadoes cannot be ruled out, but are not likely.  This will not be a widespread severe weather outbreak. Mainly because this will come as two waves of moisture. The first wave of showers and storms will move through early in the morning on Thursday, SOME MAY BE STRONG. So for those getting up for work, and school, be aware of this. That first Initial wave will move through and leave lingering rain behind. This will cause cooling, and stabilize the atmosphere to keep Severe

     Hey everybody, how's it going! I hope you guys are having a good day so far. I know I haven't done any weather updates recently, haven't had much going on weather wise, and I'm in the middle of a busy work week, so I just haven't had time to do anything. But I'm making time today, because we have a storm system coming in overnight tonight, and into tomorrow morning. So lets take a dive into it aye.     As far as Timing goes, It's looking like Late this Evening in Oklahoma, Later tonight in West Arkansas, and moving left to right across the state during the Overnight Hours. So for Central Arkansas 12-2AM would be a good bet, and East Arkansas 2-7AM would be a good bet.     As far as what the threats are, well mainly due solely to the timing of the night this will move in, the MAIN threats are Hail, and Damaging Straight Line Winds. At First this was expected to move in during the Evening hours, and that raised some Tornado Concern among Meteorologist,
