Chief Meteorologist Darby Bybee of 40/29 News is predicting another chilly night in Arkansas, with temperatures dropping quickly once the sun sets. Despite a cold start, temperatures are expected to warm up on Friday afternoon and into Saturday. Spotty showers are anticipated on Valentine’s Day night, with more cold air returning on Saturday night.
Bybee emphasizes that while there will be increasing clouds throughout the day on Friday, there is no significant rain expected. The weekend will see a slight warm-up, with temperatures reaching the upper 40s to close to 50 degrees and possibly even hitting 50 degrees in some areas.
As the front comes through on Saturday evening, colder air will follow, potentially bringing a few flurries or light snow accumulation in parts of Northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri. While the chance for significant accumulation remains low, the possibility of a few flurries is likely.
Looking ahead to next week, Bybee warns of a significant winter weather event on Tuesday and Wednesday, with cold air and the potential for rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow across the region. This system has the potential for high impact, with a significant accumulation of frozen precipitation, particularly in Northwest Arkansas.
