Wider weather episode

While no severe weather occurred at the start of the new year, a strong cold front moved into the state bringing a sharp divide to Arkansas with very cold air moving in across the northwest while temperatures approached 80 degrees across the southeast. Before cold air overspread the state entirely, some very heavy rain fell across portions of northern and western Arkansas. After the cold air moved across the state and the main storm system departed the area some very light snow/sleet was observed on January 2nd. Ground temperatures were warm in most places and there wasn't much in the way of impacts.
