In the wake of last night’s cold front, another disturbance in the mid-levels of the atmosphere will advance east Sunday afternoon and evening with snow developing and causing travel concerns. Some light snow is already falling across Northwest Arkansas.

The heaviest snow will fall from 2pm-9pm along and south of I40. While snow totals may not be large; expect roads to become slick and slow tonight across much of the area with school cancellations possible Monday.
