New Year’s Eve is never complete without the ball drop, but this year we’re adding temperatures to that tradition! Highs on Friday will be reached throughout the morning and early afternoon.
The real cold air will lag behind the surface front until the late afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will fall into the low to middle 30′s by Midnight.
The showers and storms will move east of the area by the late afternoon. An isolated strong to severe storms is possible; however, the greatest chances for severe storms will exist across central and eastern Arkansas late Friday afternoon and evening.

Did you mean east/central AR in the last sentence? I thought the surface front would have cleared OK by that time.
JP,
You are right, thanks for catching that…I will make the correction.
