TUESDAY...
This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana,
southeast Oklahoma and northeast Texas.
.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.
Colder and drier air will continue to spill south today into
Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, Northeast Texas, and North
Louisiana, in wake a cold front that will exit the region to the
south. With the sky clearing later today, and high pressure building
into the region this evening, good radiational cooling will result
in a widespread freeze across much of the area late tonight.
Precautions should be made today to protect tender vegetation and
outdoor pipes from these cold temperatures.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday.
A gradual warming trend will commence Tuesday and continue through
Wednesday, with dry conditions persisting through midweek. However,
increasing low level moisture return Wednesday afternoon and night
will set the stage for increasing showers and a few thunderstorms
late over Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas, which will spread across
the remainder of the region Thursday ahead of an upper level
disturbance. No hazardous weather is expected, with the showers and
embedded storms diminishing from west to east Thursday night with the
departing disturbance. Warmer and drier conditions will return to
the area Friday through next weekend.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
