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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A COLD FRONT IN SOUTH ARKANSAS WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE TO THE LOUISIANA
BORDER BY LATE TODAY...WITH HIGH PRESSURE REGAINING CONTROL OVER
MUCH OF THE STATE. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE MID TO UPPER 90S IN
MOST LOCATIONS. MEANWHILE...HEAT INDEX READINGS WILL MAINLY BE IN
THE 95 TO 105 DEGREE RANGE.

THE COLD FRONT WILL BE A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY IN
SOUTH ARKANSAS. HOWEVER...LARGE PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE NOT
EXPECTED.

THE WILDFIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN HIGH TO EXTREME TODAY DUE TO THE
ONGOING DROUGHT CONDITIONS. BURN BANS ARE IN PLACE OVER MOST
COUNTIES OF ARKANSAS AND BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED. WINDS WILL BE
FROM THE SOUTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

SMALL RAIN CHANCES WILL RETURN TO THE FORECAST LATER IN THE WEEK AS
ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS STATES.

THE WILDFIRE DANGER WILL REMAIN HIGH TO EXTREME THROUGHOUT THE WORK
WEEK. RAINFALL THAT DOES OCCUR EARLY IN THE PERIOD WILL HAVE LITTLE
AFFECT ON THE CURRENT DROUGHT SITUATION.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
