Special Weather Statement

Expected
Effective: 
January 11, 2025 - 2:30pm
Expires: 
January 12, 2025 - 7:00am
Description: 
With the mercury dropping below freezing this evening, any standing water and slush will quickly refreeze and promote the formation of black ice overnight and Sunday morning. This will especially be the case on many secondary roads and bridges. Freezing fog will also be possible, leading to reduced visibilities and additional icing. Motorists will need to remain alert overnight and Sunday morning for icy spots on area roadways, especially bridges and overpasses, as well as many secondary roads. Slow down and allow plenty of time to reach your destination. Temperatures are expected to climb above the freezing mark by midday Sunday. Be sure to check road conditions before traveling. Visit the Arkansas Department of Transportation's website Idrivearkansas.com for the latest road and traffic conditions.
