Conway could see freezing rain by Thursday as a frontal boundary moves into Arkansas, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service says freezing rain is possible in parts of Arkansas on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Forecasters say light freezing drizzle is possible late today in northern Arkansas, particularly nearly the Missouri border. Icy patches will be possible on bridges and overpasses, but no major impact is anticipated.
A storm system is expected to form along the stalled front on Thursday. Forecasters predict freezing rain in northern and central parts of the state.
The weather service says accumulation should be less than a tenth of an inch of ice, but that could still cause problems on roads and highways. More substantial icing may hit north of Little Rock but is expected to stay small.
Winter weather may cause a few power outages, according to the service's special weather statement released today.
Forecasters say temperatures should rise above freezing by Friday afternoon. But Sunday could bring another chance of "wintery precipitation," according to a Hazardous Weather Outlook released by the service this morning.

What? So now we're just making up forecasts that don't actually exist? I don't have a problem with the rumor - I have a problem with the way data is interpreted.
Anyways - it's moot now, as the NWS has finally introduced frzra into the forecast. Guess The Cabin is just a little ahead of their source material. ;-)
Ummmmm
This is an Associated Press report. Are you that big of an idiot that you don't actually read the byline?
You sir, have my vote
for the best comment of the day.
Rain dance
The article was written by the Associated Press and posted to our site this morning. I can only assume that as quickly as the forecast changed from your original post to your second, Trin, it likely changed throughout the morning, too.
We are certainly not in the business of interpreting data from meteorological forecasts.
