Light snow is possible overnight Tuesday into Wednesday across a large swath of northern Arkansas, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service.
Accumulation is expected to be less than half an inch in Northwest Arkansas while most of north-central and northeastern areas could see between half an inch and 1 inch.
A small section of Fulton, Sharp and Randolph counties could see more than an inch, according to the weather service.

Far Northwest Arkansas may see snow overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service, but little accumulation is expected.
Meteorologist Pete Snyder, with the Tulsa bureau of the weather service, said rain is expected across Northwest Arkansas during the day Tuesday.
As temperatures drop after midnight, he said, the rain may turn to snow in the most northwestern counties, including Benton, Washington, Madison and Carroll.
Snyder said the weather service is not expecting large amounts of accumulation, though — a tenth of an inch or less.
Temperatures are expected to remain around freezing as people head to school and work Wednesday morning, Snyder said, but the weather service does not expect widespread road travel problems.
Temperatures are then expected to warm into the 40s throughout the day Wednesday.
