THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS STATIONARY ALONG THE ARKANSAS LOUISIANA
BORDER AT MID AFTERNOON. AFTERNOON SUNSHINE OVER SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM WITH SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL
BE FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A CAMDEN...FORDYCE TO
DUMAS LINE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

COOLER AIR IS FORECAST TO OVERSPREAD ARKANSAS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PARTS OF THE STATE COULD EXPERIENCE LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER AND MID 30S BOTH ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY
MORNINGS. TUESDAY APPEARS TO BE THE COOLEST OF THE TWO MORNINGS.
PERSONS WITH TENDER OUTDOOR VEGETATION SHOULD MONITOR LATER
FORECASTS OVER THE WEEKEND FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
