THE ZONES A BIT EARLIER AND TOOK DOWN THE ADVISORY FOR MY NORTHERN
ZONES. COLD AIR WILL BE MOVING OVER ARKANSAS BEHIND THE FRONT BUT

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
725 AM CST THU JAN 31 2002

...SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF
OF ARKANSAS TODAY.

THIS MORNING...A STRONG FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PUSH ACROSS THE
STATE. TEMPERATURES CHANGE AS MUCH AS 30 DEGREES FROM THE WARM SIDE
OF THE FRONT TO THE COLD SIDE OF IT. AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO
ADVANCE THROUGH THE STATE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY
IT. THE FRONT WILL TAKE THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY TO EXIT THE STATE.

LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT LATER TODAY AND WILL
BECOME THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THE STORMS TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS. THE PRIMARY
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. DUE
TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGERS MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY.
