Norfork Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Northern Arkansas is an area of rugged hills and deep valleys. It's the coolest part of the state in the wintertime and also receives the most snow than any other part of the state. Sleet and freezing rain are also possible in winter. This region generally receives several inches of snow each year due to the proximity to the plains states and the higher elevations. Summers are hot and humid, with frequent thunderstorms. Arkansas is known for being in the path of tornadoes. Also, while being far enough away from the coast to be safe from a direct hit from a hurricane, the state can often get the remnants of a tropical system which dumps tremendous amounts of rain in a short time and often spawns smaller tornadoes.
