Just a quick update on the winter storm situation for the evening.  The National Weather Service has expanded the winter storm warning to the south to include: Jefferson, Shelby, Talladega, Clay, and Randolph Counties.  The winter weather advisory has been expanded southward to include the entire area also. 

Our system continues to dig southward and precipitation is increasing across Arkansas.  Snow/Fog has been reported this hour at Hot Springs, AR which is pretty far south.  It may be warm outside right now, but the temperature gradient is very strong along this line of precipitation and snow is falling very heavy within the band.  More will develop as our system continues to organize this evening and moves in our general direction.

Timing:  We expect the snow to begin in areas in the west around 10-11PM….and east of 65 around the 1AM hour.  This is all subject to change of course, but things are looking a little more significant just south of I-20 where 2-4″ storm snow totals are possible.  This winter storm warning is in effect until noon on Monday.  Thundersnow could become a culprit tonight for those whom have never seen it!
