SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
130 PM CDT FRI JUN 29 2001

THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR ARKANSAS HAS LESSENED...BUT
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS CENTERED NEAR THE NORTHERN BORDER OF
ARKANSAS AND WILL MOVE LITTLE THROUGH TONIGHT. THE LOW HAS WEAKENED
A LITTLE...AND TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE HAVE WARMED.

AS A RESULT...THE AIR OVER ARKANSAS WILL NOT BE AS UNSTABLE AS
IT HAS BEEN AND THE THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAS LESSENED.

HOWEVER...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE
STATE THIS AFTERNOON FROM HEATING AND WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT.

SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AND COULD CONTAIN PEA TO
MARBLE SIZED HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTAIN
HEAVY RAIN AND DUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT...A FEW AREAS COULD GET ONE
TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. FLOODING OF
LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WITH DIME SIZED HAIL OR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH.
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD GENERALLY WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET ALTHOUGH THE
THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS...STORM SPOTTERS...AND AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS
MAY NEED TO BE ACTIVATED IN SOME AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
THIS EVENING.
