451 AM CDT THU APR 14 2011

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN
OKLAHOMA HAS PLACED WESTERN ARKANSAS UNDER A MODERATE RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...WITH A SLIGHT RISK OVER THE
REMAINDER OF THE STATE.

A POTENT STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING OUT IN THE PLAINS WILL APPROACH
ARKANSAS LATER TODAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL
MOVE INTO WESTERN ARKANSAS DURING THE EVENING HOURS. ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THESE STORMS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL THIRD OF ARKANSAS BY MID TO LATE EVENING.

SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DEVELOP TONIGHT WILL BECOME SEVERE. THESE
SEVERE STORMS WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE HAIL ONE INCH IN
DIAMETER OR GREATER...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60
MPH...AND EVEN TORNADOES.

REGARDING TORNADOES...AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE GREATEST
RISK FOR TORNADOES WILL PRIMARILY BE IN AREAS WEST OF A LINE FROM
CLARKSVILLE...TO HOT SPRINGS...TO GURDON...AND BETWEEN 7 PM AND
MIDNIGHT.

AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL
LINE AND MOVE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND INTO
EASTERN ARKANSAS. THE STORMS WILL EXIT THE STATE DURING THE
MORNING HOURS.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT...WHILE THE RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE HIGHEST IN THE WEST...THERE WILL BE A SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT IN ALL PARTS OF THE STATE TONIGHT.

PEOPLE SHOULD MONITOR THE LATEST STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE...AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF A WATCH OR
WARNING IS ISSUED FOR THEIR AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
