This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana,
southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.



Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon through the late evening hours across areas generally near
and north of the I-20 Corridor of Northeast Texas and Northern
Louisiana which includes Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas.
Large hail, damaging thunderstorm wind gusts and locally heavy
downpours will be the greatest threat with severe weather through
this evening. The severe thunderstorm threat should diminish late
tonight.



While the severe weather threat should diminish Friday through the

Night. This storm system will likely produce periods of heavy
rainfall across our region Saturday through Saturday Night before the
storm system moves east of our region on Sunday. Look for widespread
rainfall amounts of one to three inches possible with isolated higher
amounts. This could result in additional rises on area waterways.
Poor drainage and flood prone areas will be susceptible to flash
flooding.
