We've taken a look at the 0Z data, and the trend is for slightly lower totals by Saturday afternoon per the GFS and the NAM models. Don't let the 2 to 4 inch totals throw you off. The best totals still look to be along the border of Missouri and Arkansas. Locations like Bella Vista could pick up over 3 inches of sleet and snow; however, Fayetteville, Springdale, and Rogers will most likely see around 2 inches of sleet and snow. Slightly higher totals around 3 inches are possible in Bentonville.

The tough part of this forecast will be the sleet accumulation. It's not just about the snow, but just how much sleet and snow will likely accumulate together?

The River Valley will see light snow develop through the afternoon, but totals will remain between a dusting to an inch mainly on the grassy surfaces.

We'll have more updates throughout Saturday!
