The winter storm warning has been expanded to the south as the overall forecast continues to trend colder. It still looks like freezing rain will be the primary concern with some sleet or snow also a possibility. #arwx

Well, we are down to the final day to prepare for many across AR. The changeover from rain to freezing rain has begun over extreme Nrn AR. This colder air will slowly advect into the state today with readings falling during the afternoon. This will be a high impact storm. #arwx
FYI, @ARForestryDiv will be conducting a small prescribed fire near Wayton in Newton County today. Smoke may be visible to the south from the Kyles Landing/Pruitt areas of @BuffaloNPS.

These places encompass who we are as a nation--they tell our stories and preserve our history. From natural wonders like @YosemiteNPS and @BuffaloNPS, to historical sites like @StonewallNps and @PetroglyphNPS, they will be passed on to future generations. 3/4 🧵

With this “extreme hot” weather we are having, why not take off your shoes/boots and wade into the cool waters of the rivers/streams/creeks around you. This is at the Steele Creek campground area, Buffalo River , Arkansas @BuffaloNPS #discovernature
