This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.



Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected this morning into
the late afternoon. While the threat for severe weather is low,
isolated damaging winds and marginally severe hail will be
possible with the strongest of storms. Overall, severe weather
should be very isolated.



Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast.
A warming trend will be noted through the middle of next week, and
that will create an unstable environment. Chances for severe weather
will increase Tuesday and Wednesday, with the potential for large
hail, damaging wind, and isolated tornadoes. Locally heavy downpours
may lead to spotty flash flooding.

A cold front will push through the region from the Plains on
Thursday, and will be followed by cooler, drier, and more seasonal
air on Friday.
