This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Areas of dense fog are expected to linger over the western two-
thirds of Arkansas through mid-morning. Isolated to scattered
showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast this afternoon
across portions of western Arkansas. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms are expected tonight over mainly northern Arkansas.
A few of these storms could be severe, with large hail and
damaging wind the main concerns.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast
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 isolated 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 into the weekend.
.Spotter Information Statement...
Spotter activation will not be needed.
