This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible this evening over
the eastern half of the state as a storm system slowly exits the
state.

While the threat of severe weather has ended, several more hours
of rain are expected over the eastern parts of the state before
the precipitation slowly tapers off.

Given recent heavy to excessive rain, any additional precipitation
will aggravate high water issues that already exist across much of
the area. Most precipitation will end tonight, with drier air
building into the region. Showers may linger in the southeast
overnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday Through Friday

Additional heavy rainfall will be possible by the middle of next
week as showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast. Severe
weather may also become a concern as well. However, details
regarding the heavy rainfall and severe weather threat remain
uncertain this far out. Even so...river flooding will likely be
continuing from the current heavy rain event.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation will be needed today in anticipation of severe
weather expected across the area this afternoon through the evening
hours.
