Tracking severe weather chances in NWA and the River Valley Tuesday
Updated: 5:33 AM CST Mar 4, 2025
AND DEFINITELY NOT THE DAY TO SEND THE KIDS OFF WITH THEIR FAVORITE SHOES. BUT IT IS THE DAY TO BE WEATHER AWARE AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS FORECAST. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE UNDER THAT YELLOW COLOR FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR AREA. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU? THAT MEANS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS A FRONT MOVES THROUGH, WE ALL HAVE THAT SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. BUT NOTICE IT’S ENHANCED DOWN TO OUR SOUTH AND OVER IN LEFLORE AND SCOTT COUNTIES, YOU ALREADY HAVE A TORNADO WATCH ISSUED UNTIL 11:00 THIS MORNING. WE ALL HAVE THAT CHANCE THOUGH. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS HOUR BY HOUR. THINGS ARE RELATIVELY QUIET FOR US RIGHT NOW. BEYOND THAT WIND THAT IS ALREADY WHIPPING. AND THOSE GUSTS JUST GOING TO BE INCREASING. WE HAVE GUSTS UP TO 45, EVEN 50 MILES AN HOUR. AS THIS SYSTEM COMES THROUGH. AND THEN EVEN ON THE BACKSIDE OF OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, THINGS DON’T CALM DOWN FOR YOU. SO 8 A.M. SHOWERS STARTING TO COME IN. HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WE CAN GET 1 TO 2IN OF RAIN OUT OF THIS. NOW, AS THAT FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST, NOTICE LITTLE BIT OF SHOWER ACTIVITY WANTS TO HAPPEN, BUT THOSE WINDS, THAT’S GOING TO BE A BIG CONCERN FOR YOU THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DAY. THE OTHER THREATS WITH THIS, BEYOND POSSIBLY SEEING AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO AND THOSE VERY BREEZY WINDS WHICH WE HAVE A WIND ADVISORY FROM TODAY UNTIL TOMORROW. IT’S GOING TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HAIL TO GO ALONG WITH THOSE HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. BEHIND IT, THINGS GET COOL AND NOTICE THAT BLUE. WE COULD SEE A LITTLE FLURRY ACTIVITY. NOW THAT DOES WANT TO CLEAR OUT BEFORE WE HEAD OUT THE DOOR TO START OUR WEDNESDAY MORNING. BUT NORTHWEST ARKANSAS, THAT’S WHERE WE HAVE THAT CHANCE COMPARED TO DOWN IN THE RIVER VALLEY. SO TODAY IS A SEVERE DAY FOR ALL THE AREA, BUT TOMORROW WILL BE AN IMPACT DAY FOR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS BECAUSE OF THAT CHANCE TO SEE SOME FLURRIES. DAYTIME HIGHS REALLY PLUMMET BEHIND THIS TODAY. IT’S GOING TO FEEL MILD FOR YOU. BUT THEN AS WE GET INTO OUR WEDNESDAY, YOU’LL NOTICE THAT BIG CHILL IN THE AIR. AND OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WE ARE BACK INTO THE 20S TO START THE MORNING. THINGS LOOK A LITTLE BIT BETTER AS WE HEAD INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND, BUT WE DO HAVE MORE CHANCES TO SEE A LITTLE PRECIPITATION ACTIVITY. I’M GO
