What is the winter weather in Arkansas like?
Arkansas has a very dramatic weather climate due to it’s natural surroundings (mountains, rivers, lakes etc.). It can get particularly chilly around January and February. A few years back there was a terrible ice storm that hit Arkansas, the river valley area (around Fort Smith) got hit severely. They suffered several weeks without electricity. It takes a while for the spring weather to fully hit Arkansas and actually stay! Today is April 8 and the temperature is currently 47 degrees and the low is in the 30’s tonight!
