This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana,
southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.
.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.
Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will impact portions
of the Four State Region today. The stronger storms will have the
capability of producing strong wind gusts and small hail. An isolated
severe thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Look for locally heavy
rainfall with the stronger storms today as well.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms will be possible through upcoming
weekend and into at least the middle part of next week. There will
be a threat for strong to severe thunderstorms each day with the
greatest threats coming on Tuesday into Wednesday with the approach
of our next storm system. While details concerning specific
thunderstorm risks are still difficult to determine so far out in
the forecast, damaging wind gusts, large hail and locally heavy
downpours, at the very least, are a strong possibility Tuesday into
Wednesday across portions of the Four State Region.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation should not be necessary through tonight.
