Seriously, we are facing some pipe-busting cold weather from Saturday morning until Tuesday morning. There’s the potential for at least 0.5 inches of snow on the ground in Indy by 7 a.m. Thursday. The temperatures will be near the freezing mark early Friday and may not move much throughout the day, Goggins said.
After a 20 percent chance of snow Friday morning, the NWS predicted temperatures would rise into the 50s next week.
The state police echoed the weather service’s warning and said it was putting out extra patrols on the state Thruway and in western NY where heavy snowfall is also expected.
A mixture of freezing rain and sleet will impact locations northwest of a new Augusta to Thomas ville line through Friday evening.
“There’s still a little bit of uncertainty there”, the meteorologist said.
Alternate side parking in the city was suspended Friday.
Arkansas counties with an advisory in effect until 10 a.m. Friday are Crawford, Franklin and Sebastian.
Most areas may see two to three inches of snow by Thursday evening.
The area could be seeing some snow come Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
According to our hour by hour forecast (and what will likely be the radar), we should see snow falling from the clouds as early as midnight across parts of the state.
Warmer weather is expected by the second half of next week, as 50-degree temperatures are forecast to return by Wednesday. While the snow amounts will not be large by Front Range standards, the combination of extreme cold and the snow will make roads icy and snow-packed. The snow really gets going in the metro as many of you are heading out to work in the morning.

Keep in mind that a winter weather advisory is considered to be an “upgrade” to a winter storm watch.
