331 AM CST TUE JAN 26 2010
…WINTER STORM EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY…WITH SIGNIFICANT
ICE AND SNOW ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE…
A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM MOVING ALONG THE GULF COAST WILL BRING
MOISTURE INTO THE MIDSOUTH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND ON THURSDAY.
AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL ALSO DROP SOUTH INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE MIDSOUTH THURSDAY EVENING…CHANGING RAIN OVER TO A MIXTURE OF
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET. THE SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL ADVANCE
SOUTH THURSDAY NIGHT…CHANGING RAIN TO A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN ACROSS CENTRAL COUNTIES OF THE MIDSOUTH BY FRIDAY
MORNING. AREAS ALONG THE MISSOURI AND KENTUCKY BORDERS WILL LIKELY
SEE A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW BY FRIDAY MORNING. SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH. CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH THAT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE MIDSOUTH WILL SEE SOME
WINTRY PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER CURRENT CONFIDENCE IS MUCH LOWER
OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH.
THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THIS
POTENTIAL WINTER STORM SYSTEM. SMALL DEVIATIONS IN THE SPEED AND
STRENGTH OF THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM WILL DETERMINE THE SOUTHERN
EXTENT OF THE ARCTIC AIR. THESE INFLUENCES WILL GREATLY IMPACT
PRECIPITATION TYPES AND AMOUNTS.
STRONG WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE STORM. SHOULD SIGNIFICANT ICE AND
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OCCUR…THE STRONG WINDS COULD HELP BRING DOWN
TREE LIMBS…WHICH COULD CAUSE POWER OUTAGES.
THE WINTER STORM SHOULD CLEAR THE MIDSOUTH BY THE WEEKEND…WITH
BITTER COLD ARCTIC AIR USHERING IN BEHIND THE DEPARTING STORM
SYSTEM.
PERSONS IN THE MIDSOUTH ARE ENCOURAGED TO PLAN AHEAD FOR THE POTENTIAL
OF SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS AND POSSIBLE POWER OUTAGES…FOLLOWED
BY MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES PERSISTING INTO THE WEEKEND.

BE SURE TO TURN ON YOUR NOAA WEATHER RADIO SATURDAY MORNING. IF YOU ARE LOCATED IN REGION 8 AND DON’T HAVE A NOAA WEATHER RADIO PLEASE STOP BY BARTONS AND PURCHASE A NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR ONLY $29.99
A significant severe weather outbreak is possible across parts of
the mid-south Saturday afternoon and Saturday night…
Low pressure will develop over the Southern Plains on Saturday and
move into the middle Mississippi Valley Saturday night… while a warm
front will surge north into the mid-south. This will bring a warm…
moist… and unstable airmass into the region ahead of a strong cold
front approaching from the west.
Severe thunderstorms will develop ahead of the cold front Saturday
afternoon and evening. An additional line of severe thunderstorms
will likely develop along and immediately ahead of the cold front as
it moves across the area Saturday night.
The main threats will be damaging winds… large hail… and tornadoes.
There is potential for a few strong tornadoes.
Locations along and south of a Jonesboro Arkansas to Jackson
Tennessee line have the best chance for severe thunderstorms and
tornadoes where a moderate risk is in effect.
The best time frame for severe weather will be between 1 PM CDT
Saturday afternoon and 3 am CDT early Sunday morning.
Mid-southerners should pay close attention to latest weather
information concerning this developing severe weather event.

Well we did receive some severe weather here in NE Arkansas and sadly to say there were 7 people who lost their lives today in the storms across Arkansas. Our prayers go out the the family and friends of those who lost their lives today in these storms.
On a lighter issue here are a few pictures that I took today as the storms made their way through Lawrence County.
