As the extremely cold winter weather continues, another round of snow will impact the state today and is expected to continue through Thursday. Temperatures in many locations across northern and western Arkansas have been between 10 and 20 degrees below zero. These extreme cold conditions and precipitation can create problems for an electric system and make for hazardous driving conditions, slowing restoration.

We have approximately 1,400 restoration resources, along with mutual assistance crews from outside the state, responding to outages quickly and as safely as possible as they occur. Our team will continue to practice social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and this may slow restoration work.
