Could Northwest Arkansas see a Blizzard Warning for the first time?
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A major winter storm system has made its way into our coverage area. Some areas are expected to have more than a foot of snow. This could cause a potential Blizzard Warning. What is an 'Extreme Cold Warning'? Northwest Arkansas has never been under a Blizzard Warning but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. With the amount of likely snow on the ground and the right circumstances, driving during certain hours could cause hazardous conditions. It does not have to be snowing for a Blizzard Warning because blowing snow on the ground can cause dangerous conditions. All of the following circumstances need to take place for a Blizzard Warning to be issued: Wind: 35 MPH or greater Visibility: 1/4 of a mile or less Time: at least 3 consecutive hours Our team is watching and keeping up with the latest models on our weather blog.

Big time storm system moving in Wednesday night
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — There's a big system on the way expecting to bring rain Wednesday, but also storms early Thursday morning with the possibility of strong to severe weather in the River Valley. There's a lot of energy over the southwest United States, but wait there's more. More energy from the Pacific Northwest will join up with that system. This system's strong lift is expected to make for some severe weather in the Ark-La-Tex region. For Wednesday, pockets of heavy rain and rumbles of thunder are expected. We'll dive into the future track later on. There is also the threat of isolated flash flooding in the River Valley. Thursday morning, that's when the bulk of the lift will be here, so there is a higher chance of stronger to severe weather. Right now the current Day 3 severe weather risk is just barely clipping southern LeFlore County in Oklahoma and southern Scott County in Arkansas. Over the next 24 hours, this could likely shift north. With more lift, there's also the threat of heavier rain and training of storms over the same area. Flash flooding threat increases throughout Thursday morning. Wednesday – Light showers starting in the afternoon and continuing for most of the day. A few storms are possible around bedtime. Thursday – Just after midnight some strong to possibly severe storms will be entering the area bringing heavy downpours that could lead to flash flooding mainly in the River Valley. The storm motion could add to the flash flooding threat by training storms over the same area. By the afternoon things should start to wind down. Be extra cautious on the roadways on Thursday morning. To make sure you are staying up-to-date with the forecast, download the YOUR Weather Authority app to get updates anywhere at any time.
