THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

...THUNDERSTORMS...
LOCALLY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SOME STORMS COULD BE CAPABLE OF
GENERATING  WINDS TO 45 MPH...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...SMALL HAIL AND
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.

A COMPACT...BUT POTENT...UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BETWEEN TONIGHT AND
LATE TOMORROW.	THE COMBINATION OF ATMOSPHERIC LIFT INDUCED BY
THIS DISTURBANCE AND MODERATE INSTABILITY MAY GIVE SOME
THUNDERSTORMS THE POTENTIAL TO BE LOCALLY STRONG. THE LACK OF
APPRECIABLE WIND SHEAR WILL LIMIT THE RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS PERIOD. THE RISK OF ANY STRONG STORMS
WILL BE GREATEST THIS EVENING AND AGAIN TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

...FLOODING...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING AND AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN LOW
LYING AREAS AND UPON PAVED SURFACES. MOST STORMS WILL MOVE FAST
ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT...BUT CLUSTERS OF STORMS
MAY HAVE A TENDENCY TO BACK BUILD AND BRING ONE TO TWO INCHES OF
RAINFALL TO ISOLATED LOCATIONS QUICKLY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

...DAYS TWO AND THREE...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...
MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY AS ADDITIONAL ATMOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES MOVE THROUGH AND A
SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
WHILE WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT ANTICIPATED...SOME STORMS
DURING THIS TIME PERIOD COULD PRODUCE STRONG WINDS...LOCALLY
GUSTY WINDS...SMALL HAIL AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.

...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
