LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – 2 PM Thursday Update – Northwest and West Arkansas received heavy, wet snow Thursday morning. The highest snowfall amounts were in Newton County where as much as 7″ of snow fell in more than one place. Measurable snow was seen as far south as Montgomery County and as far east as Searcy County. Even some snow did briefly mix in with rain in Central AR. Judsonia, Austin, and the Little Rock National Weather Service in North Little Rock did witness some brief rain/snow mix.
Overall, the forecast was nearly spot on with what was observed. The only adjustments that should have been made was to extend the dark blue (3-6″) area east into Searcy County & make an additional note of higher snow totals being possible for Rich Mountain, Mt. Magazine, Mt. Nebo and Petit Jean Mountain.
Here are a few preliminary snowfall totals from around the state.
