Wider weather episode

While rain was widespread during the day on January 15th, precipitation started out as snow across northwest Arkansas. Cold air moved across the state with temperatures falling from west to east and rain transitioning to snow. The cold air struggled to move into eastern portions of Arkansas but was firmly in place across northern and western parts of the state. With abundant moisture in place where the coldest air was located, some very heavy snowfall totals were observed across portions of the Ozarks and Ouachitas. Light snow was observed across much of the rest of the state as well.
