Arkansas Blizzard

[wrkh99]

Looks like Arkansas is geting hit with a Suprise Snow storm. 7 - 10 inches will fall in some areas today . Winter storm warning have just been posted . Now where is my snow ?

[ColdFront77]

Yes, I noticed Little Rock, Arkansas at 32 degrees at 11:00 AM or so there time with Heavy Snow; in contrast, Taunton, Massachusetts (10 miles west of where I grew up and where the Boston area/southern and eastern National Weather Service office is located [moved from Boston, MA several years ago]) was Fair and 30 degrees.

Latest 12PCN map indicating 3"-6" in eastern Ark.

Many locations, even in Southeast Arkansas (Pine Bluff - 35 Light Snow)

Also looks to be weakening as it heads NE...once it hits the Appalachins most areas will get a 1-3" coat....some locally more.

Yeah, Rob ...

It caught some extra enhancement --- look at these maps.

700-500 UVV


850 WAA - VKNT

Seems like it is backbuilding for AR before it skirts across TN onward. I havent followed the stats and reports outta there in about 3 hours...I'm gonna take a look.
