A major outbreak of severe storms with strong, long track
tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds is expected across
the Quad State this afternoon and evening, and possibly into the
overnight hours. Storms will move to the northeast at 60-70 mph.
The storms will eventually form into a line tonight, mainly over
west Kentucky. The line may become stationary resulting in heavy

at 1 PM for the entire region.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for the entire region until midnight.
South winds may gust 40 to 55 mph at times ahead of the storms.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday
Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms with heavy rainfall
are expected Thursday through Saturday night. A Flood Watch is in
effect for this entire period. Significant flash flooding and
rapid rises on area rivers are likely. River flooding is already
forecast in some locations. The worst flash flooding threat will
be Friday night through Saturday night.
In addition, to the heavy rainfall and flooding concerns, severe
storms will be possible over much of the region Thursday afternoon
and night, and again Friday night into Saturday.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.
.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms will be likely
today. Parts of northeastern Arkansas and east-central Arkansas
are within a High Risk for severe weather (level 5 out of 5).
However, the majority of the state is in either an Enhanced Risk
(level 3 out of 5), Moderate Risk (level 4 out of 5), or as
mentioned above a High Risk (level 5 out of 5).
All severe weather hazards will be possible across the state today
including: large hail (baseball size to potentially larger),
damaging wind gusts (in excess of 80+ mph), and tornadoes (a few
which may be long-track and violent... especially across
northeastern and east-central Arkansas).
Flash flooding is also a major concern as these thunderstorms
will be efficient rain producers and may proceed to lead to an
overwhelming amount of rainfall falling in a short period of time.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday
The threat for severe weather will decrease slightly for
Thursday...but will still see some threat for large
hail...damaging winds...and an isolated tornado. Thursday`s most
concerning hazard at the time looks to be a decent confidence in
large hail across portions of central and southwestern Arkansas.
A front will become stalled over some portion of Arkansas by late
today...remaining over the state into the weekend. Several rounds
of showers and thunderstorms are possible...resulting in several
inches of rainfall. The threat for flash and/or river flooding
will increase significantly by late this week. A large portion of
the state is forecast to experience total rainfall amounts from
today through Sunday morning of 4 to 8 inches statewide, with
values of 10+ inches possible across northeastern Arkansas.
.Spotter Information Statement...
Spotter activation will be needed today across the state,
especially across the eastern 2/3rds of the state which
encompasses the Moderate and High Risk contours via the Storm
Prediction Center.
Spotters should be prepared to possibly encounter all hazards:
large hail of baseball size or larger, damaging wind gusts of 60
mph to 80+ mph, a tornadoes (a few which could be violent and
long-track). Additionally, spotters should be prepared to
encounter flash flooding and understand as this threat does extend
into the evening hours the dangers associated with spotting at
night.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.
.DAY ONE...Tonight.
Weather hazards expected...
Enhanced tornado risk.
Enhanced hail risk.
Enhanced thunderstorm wind damage risk.
Elevated lightning risk.
Limited excessive rainfall risk
Elevated non thunderstorm wind risk.
DISCUSSION...
Southeasterly wind gusts will be around 30 to 40 mph tonight with
infrequent gusts up to 45 mph. There is the potential for
isolated strong to severe thunderstorms to impact areas west of
I-49 between 9 PM and 4 AM tonight. If these occurred, they would
mainly pose a large hail risk up to tennis balls.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.
Wind gusts up to 30 to 45 mph will continue into Wednesday
morning.
Additionally, a broken line of storms is expected to move through
from west to east starting around 5 to 7 AM Wednesday, west of
Highway 65. Any storm would be capable of producing hail up to
ping pongs, damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, and perhaps a
tornado or two. As these storms progress eastward past Highway
63 Wednesday afternoon, further intensification is possible with
maximum hazards of hail up to tennis ball size, damaging wind
gusts up to 70 mph, and a few tornadoes, some potentially strong.
Confidence continues to increase in heavy rainfall and flooding
late this week into the weekend. Heavy rainfall amounts of at
least 3 to 5 inches, with higher amounts of 6 to 10 inches
possible. This could result in significant flooding and flash
flooding. The greatest concern for heavy rainfall occurs Friday
afternoon through Saturday evening. A Flood Watch is in effect.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation may be needed late tonight for southeast
Kansas and western Missouri.
