Light snow is likely to reach northern Arkansas late in the day
Wednesday or early Wednesday evening.

During the evening and overnight hours (Wednesday night into Thursday
morning), precipitation is likely to spread to all sections of the
state. Snow is the likely precipitation type over the northern half of
the state. Over the southern half, rain or a rain/sleet/snow mix is
likely to begin with, eventually transitioning over to all snow in most
areas. The extreme south is looking a little iffy, and it's possible
that a mixture will occur there and it will not change over to all snow.

Snowfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches seem likely across northern Arkansas,
with some 4 inch amounts probable, especially in northeast Arkansas. A
Winter Storm Watch has been issued for the northeast part of the state.

In a west to east band across the middle of Arkansas, including the
Little Rock area, totals of 1 or 2 inches seem most likely, but totals
could end up being a little less than this in some places.

In the southern part of the state, totals of an inch or less should occur.

Snow will diminish from west to east across the state Thursday morning.
If anything lingers after midday Thursday, it should be only flurries.

Gusty winds and colder air will move in as the snow moves out. I think
some Wind Chill Advisories (and perhaps even some Wind Chill Warnings)
will become necessary over a large part of the state later Thursday into
Thursday night.
