This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
A few lines of storms continue to move from west to east across
Arkansas early this morning. A few strong to severe storms within
these lines of activity can be expected. The main threats will be
damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a spin-up tornado or two
cannot be ruled out across portions of central and southern
Arkansas through late morning.
An Enhanced Risk (level 3 out of 5) for severe weather has been
implemented for most of the eastern flank of Arkansas where strong
to severe storms are expected to re-develop this afternoon. A
Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather does exist
across central Arkansas where storms may initially develop, but
will encounter a better parameter space as the storms surge
eastward. The main hazards with activity that does develop will be
large hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes cannot be
ruled out.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday
Rain and thunderstorms return to the forecast on Thursday and
become more widespread in coverage from Friday through Monday.
Confidence with this setup remains low for the organization of
any severe weather which is a trend that has continued from past
forecast packages. Flash flooding may become a concern on Saturday
as a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4) for excessive rainfall has
been introduced. Trends will continue to be monitored closely with
Memorial Day Weekend approaching.
.Spotter Information Statement...
Spotter activation is not anticipated to be needed.
