BIG COLD SNAP🥶 A weekend cold front will bring the coldest temps of the season so far by Sunday and Monday morning.
Actual temps may dip into the mid to lower 20s, but a breezy north wind will make it feel like single digits and teens—especially Sunday morning! #ARwx

Some fog has developed this evening across parts of Central Arkansas... But with more clouds moving in, temps shouldn't get much cooler, and fog shouldn't get much thicker.
But still, be safe on the roads this evening in case there are a few dense patches out there. #ARwx

TRAFFIC ALERT⚠️ An accident on I-57 northbound at mile 3.7 just north of Trammel Rd. is causing some big time delays for those heading out of the Metro this Tuesday evening.
You may want to avoid this route if you can, perhaps using 440 as an alternative from I-40 to Jacksonville. #ARtraffic

HEADS UP😶🌫️ Areas of freezing fog will be possible as dense fog could develop in temperatures well below freezing Wednesday morning.
This could result in patchy areas of ice on bridges & overpasses. Between this & low visibility, the Wednesday morning drive could be a bit treacherous in spots. #ARwx
