Bitter cold temperatures are gripping the Twin Lakes area Monday morning, with wind chills near zero degrees prompting caution from National Weather Service Meteorologist Lance Pyle.
“Wind chills this morning are around zero degrees, which could be in a dangerous category,” Pyle said.
Clouds and flurries will linger across north central Arkansas early in the day but are expected to dissipate as the low-pressure system moves out of the region. “Clouds will continue through the morning, but we should see a decrease this afternoon, along with the ending of some flurries across north Arkansas,” Pyle said.
Even as skies clear, cold conditions are expected to persist. “Cold temperatures will continue with gusty north winds today,” Pyle noted. “Temperatures will remain mainly below freezing throughout the week across north Arkansas.”
Looking ahead, another storm system is forecast to arrive Thursday and Friday, bringing more wintry weather. “That will bring another chance of snow to north Arkansas, although lighter amounts are expected in the north, with greater amounts of snow and weather impacts across central and southern parts of the state,” Pyle said.
Dress warm if heading outdoors, limit exposure, and stay tuned to KTLO, Classic Hits and the Boot for updates weather as the week progresses.
