Winter Weather Update: February 9th 2021

-

        Hey Everybody! I hope Everybody is Staying safe on this cold, damp, and wet Tuesday. It looks like there is a chance for some serious weather to be moving in over the next 24-48 hours, that will create some very dangerous driving conditions on the Roads here in Arkansas. This is an Ice System, I don't see much potential for Snow as much as I do Sleet and Freezing rain. I Love Snow personally, Snow is great for pictures, and fun in the winter. Snow Does make the roads Slick, and Slippery, especially when you get a lot of it. But Ice is a completely different beast all together from snow. Snow doesn't Stick to Tree's and Powerlines, Ice does. Ice will cover the roads and make them one solid Sheet of Pure Ice, and on Ice you have ZERO traction. You can Drive in Snow, Snow is Decent to drive in, but ICE is a No Go. Ice will shut a City down within Minutes. Ice will cover everything, bring down Tree's, powerlines causing outages for extended periods of time, and not leaving much option to go anywhere because it covers the ground as well, and you can't drive on it.

       So, what's to be expected for Arkansas? 
So this is the Latest Run of the NAM (North American Model), this particular model shows the Onset of some Frozen Precipitation here in Central Arkansas between Midnight Thursday Morning, and 3am Thursday Morning. 
This is the NAM Model between 3am and 6am Thursday Morning. As you guys can see this model really ramps up on the Freezing Rain Early in the Rush Hour Period of Thursday Morning. IF THIS HAPPENS, THIS WILL CAUSE SOME SERIOUS TRAVEL ISSUES.

This is the NAM between 6am and 9am Thursday Morning, we continue with Freezing Rain here in Central and North East Arkansas. 
This is Courtesy of the National Weather Service in North Little Rock, they're calling for Ice Storm Type Accumulations here in Central, Northeast, and Sections of South Central Arkansas. If You live in those Shaded Areas, ESPECIALLY THE RED Shaded Areas, You need to Go Ahead and Get ready for a Call In Day on Thursday. 

Winter Weather Advisories, Winter Storm Watches, and an Ice Storm Warning has been issued through Thursday Afternoon in advance of this Storm.

     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,
