Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley are expected to see a respite today from record-setting cold that has gripped the state this week. Much of the snow and ice that blanketed the region Sunday hung around Tuesday. However, the sun came out, helping melt some of that snow, said Joe Sellers, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tulsa. The real relief should come today and Thursday, he said.

Street crews in Northwest Arkansas hope to soon get some respite from record-setting cold and lingering hazardous road conditions starting today.

While crews driving trucks and snowplows were clearing and treating roadways, emergency shelters were offering those without heat a place to avoid the sub-freezing temperatures in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.

Wind and wintry weather brought some snow and power outages to Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley early Friday, but officials said it was less serious than expected.

Portions of Central Arkansas saw as much as an inch and a half of snowfall on Friday, prompting a winter weather advisory and creating slick road conditions for several hours throughout the region.
