Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders declares emergency after Aug. 16 severe weather

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has declared a state of emergency for the severe weather that occurred in Northwest Arkansas Friday evening.

The decision to declare an emergency was made due to the "numerous" power outages affecting the region, according to a news release.

The declaration allows commercial vehicles involved in power restoration to bypass weigh stations and exempts them from federal driving time regulations.

Sanders has also authorized emergency response vehicles to bypass weigh stations through Aug. 31 but does not waive size, weight restrictions or permit requirements.
