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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

A COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM TEXARKANA TO PINE BLUFF TO NEAR HELENA
THIS EVENING. AFTER SOME MOVEMENT TO THE SOUTH EARLIER TODAY...THE
BOUNDARY HAS EFFECTIVELY STALLED. PERIODS OF RAIN AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT.
RAINFALL COULD BE LOCALLY HEAVY AT TIMES THROUGH TONIGHT OVER NORTH
CENTRAL...WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS WHERE BETWEEN ONE AND
THREE INCHES OF RAIN WILL BE COMMON. THIS RAIN WILL FALL ON AREAS
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN SATURATED FROM RAIN EARLIER SATURDAY. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR LOCATIONS NORTH OF A LINE FROM
ARKADELPHIA TO LITTLE ROCK TO BRINKLEY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO REMAIN STALLED OUT OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL ARKANSAS ON SUNDAY. THE FRONT WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR
ADDITIONAL PERIODS OF RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS A SERIES OF
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TRACK NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
ARKANSAS ON SUNDAY. AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO OF RAIN IS EXPECTED
SUNDAY...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. THUS...THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY FOR MUCH OF
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ARKANSAS.

WITH DORMANT VEGETATION....WATER RUNOFF COULD BUILD QUICKLY WITH
HIGH WATER PROBLEMS DEVELOPING. FLOODING OF STREETS AND LOW WATER
CROSSINGS IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY. ANY EXCESSIVE WATER WOULD FLOW INTO
TRIBUTARIES AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE MAJOR WATERWAYS WITH RIVER
FLOODING POSSIBLE.

BY SUNDAY NIGHT...THE MAIN STORM SYSTEM IN THE ROCKIES WILL LIFT
NORTHEASTWARD AND PUSH THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REST OF THE STATE.
RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS IT
SHIFTS TO THE SOUTHEAST.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THERE
IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE RAIN COULD MIX WITH OR EVEN CHANGE TO
FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET OVER PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL AND NORTH CENTRAL
ARKANSAS SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY. THE PRECIPITATION OVER
NORTHERN AND WESTERN ARKANSAS SHOULD END BY MIDDAY MONDAY AS DRIER
AIR WORKS INTO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
ARKANSAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WARM ENOUGH FOR THE PRECIPITATION TO
REMAIN IN THE FORM OF LIGHT RAIN BEFORE ENDING EARLY MONDAY EVENING.

STAY TUNED TO YOUR OFFICIAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST FOR
THE LATEST INFORMATION ON THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.

DRIER AND COLDER WEATHER WILL PREVAIL FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD
THANKS TO ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE
LATER IN THE WEEK AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH SHIFTS EASTWARD.

.SPOTTER ACTIVATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
