Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders has declared a state of emergency in Arkansas due to the recent blast of wintry weather that covered roadways with treacherous ice. An executive order will provide funds for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to help with the ice storm response. Refreezing overnight left black ice on roads in western and northwestern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma from a Monday ice storm. More wintry weather is in the forecast. On Monday, Arkansas National Guard teams organized with Humvees and soldiers worked around the clock to assist motorists.
