LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INTO ARKANSAS FROM THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE MORNING HOURS OF NEW YEARS DAY. THIS WILL BE FALLING INTO AN AIR MASS THAT IS AROUND OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING AT THE SURFACE...CREATING A SITUATION WHERE SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN MAY OCCUR FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE TEMPERATURES WARM ENOUGH TO CHANGE PRECIPITATION TO MAINLY RAIN. THE AREAS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS WILL BE PRIMARILY IN WESTERN AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS WHERE COLD AND DRY AIR WILL TAKE THE LONGEST TO ERODE. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN IN THE OUACHITAS OF SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS AROUND DAYBREAK...THEN SPREAD NORTH AND EAST DURING THE MORNING. IN THE HIGHER SPOTS OF THE OUACHITAS AND OZARK MOUNTAINS...LIGHT SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR TOMORROW...BUT SHOULD STAY BELOW A TENTH OF AN INCH FOR ICE AND LESS THAN HALF AN INCH FOR SLEET. IMPACTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT...BUT ELEVATED SURFACES LIKE BRIDGES COULD BECOME SLICK FOR BRIEF PERIODS TOMORROW MORNING. IN THE LOWER TERRAIN OF CENTRAL...SOUTHERN...AND EASTERN ARKANSAS...THE FORECAST IS LESS CERTAIN. PRECIPITATION WILL MAKE IT TO THESE AREAS AFTER SUNRISE AS TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO WARM...ALBEIT SLOWLY. THUS INITIALLY...THERE WILL LIKELY BE A MIX OF RAIN AND SLEET BEFORE CHANGING TO RAIN. THE AREAS THAT WILL CHANGE TO RAIN THE LATEST WILL BE TO THE NORTHEAST OF LITTLE ROCK...NEAR BATESVILLE AND NEWPORT. HOWEVER THOSE AREAS WILL ALSO BE THE LAST TO SEE PRECIPITATION BEGIN AS WELL. ACCUMULATIONS OF EITHER SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN ARE NOT EXPECTED AND IMPACTS SHOULD BE MINIMAL IF AT ALL. SOME UNCERTAINTIES DO EXIST. THUS YOU SHOULD BE SURE TO CHECK ROAD CONDITIONS IN THE MORNING AS WELL AS THE LATEST FORECAST BEFORE TRAVELING ON NEW YEARS DAY. $$ For more information, go to middletnweather.info
