Chief Meteorologist Harvey Bobby from 40/29tv.com has provided an update on the upcoming weather conditions in Arkansas. As the region recovers from severe weather and a light snowfall earlier today, preparations are underway for another weather system expected to arrive on Sunday.

While the forecast for this approaching system is challenging to predict, Bobby emphasized the confidence in the persistence of cold air. Overnight temperatures tonight will drop into the teens and twenties, with wind chills making it feel like single digits and low teens. Northwest Arkansas may experience a brief warm-up into the mid-twenties tomorrow before a cold front pushes through, leading to a drop in temperatures later in the afternoon.

By Saturday evening, parts of northeast Arkansas could see temperatures plummeting into the single digits, while the River Valley anticipates temperatures in the teens. These bitter cold conditions are expected to worsen, with the possibility of even lower temperatures by Sunday morning. Although forecasts vary, some models suggest lows near zero degrees in Northwest Arkansas, with wind chill values potentially reaching negative 10 to negative 20 degrees.

In addition to the frigid temperatures, the approaching weather system brings with it the likelihood of snowfall. Bobby indicated that accumulations are expected across the entire viewing area, although the exact amounts remain uncertain. The snow is projected to start on Sunday afternoon, beginning in Northwest Arkansas and gradually spreading southward. Southern and south-central Arkansas, including Little Rock, are likely to receive the highest snow totals.

As a result, travel issues are anticipated throughout Sunday night and into Monday, possibly extending into Tuesday morning due to the persistently cold temperatures. Bobby and the meteorological team are continuously updating the snowfall forecast and urge residents to stay tuned for the latest information.

In conclusion, Arkansans should prepare for freezing temperatures and potential snowfall in the coming days. Following last night's severe weather and today's light snow, another system is approaching, bringing with it the risk of travel disruptions and low wind chills.
