This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Widespread showers and thunderstorms will build into Arkansas
today from Texas and Oklahoma. While widespread organized severe
weather appears low, some of these storms could become locally
strong to severe. The main thunderstorm hazards would be large
hail and damaging winds. Localized areas of heavy rain could lead
to flash flooding. Precipitation should come to an end by late
evening.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast
Monday and Tuesday. A few storms could be severe, with large hail
and damaging wind the main concerns.
Chances for severe weather will increase Wednesday as a storm system
tracks from the southern Plains to the mid-Mississippi Valley, and
drags a cold front into Arkansas. Ahead of the front, well above
average temperatures and humid conditions will create a very
unstable environment. All modes of severe weather are in play,
including tornadoes. Locally heavy downpours may lead to spotty
flash flooding.
Hit and miss showers and a few rumbles of thunder will linger on
Thursday, and then the front will exit toward the Gulf Coast. The
front will be followed by cooler, drier, and more seasonal air
Friday and Saturday.
.Spotter Information Statement...
Spotter activation will not be needed.
