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

.DAY ONE...This evening and Tonight

Areas of drizzle and fog are expected to develop as a warm front
lifts through the area. However, no hazardous weather is
expected.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday Through Sunday

Strong southerly winds will be in place across the state on
Tuesday ahead of a cold front. Sustained winds of 15-25 mph will
be possible along with gusts to 30 mph at times.

As the cold front moves through the state, strong to severe
thunderstorms may develop across roughly the southeast half of
the state during the late afternoon through the evening hours.

Damaging winds and large hail will be the primary threats with
any severe storms that develop. While the tornado threat is small,
it can not be discounted entirely. Behind the front, strong
northwesterly winds between 10-20 mph will be seen across much of
the area as well.

It will turn colder during the middle of the week. Subfreezing
temperatures are likely in portions of the Ozark and Ouachita
Mountains of the north and west Wednesday morning.

The end of the week into the weekend will be unsettled. Rain will
return Friday into Saturday. Thunderstorms are favored from southern
Arkansas to the Gulf Coast. At this time, chances of severe weather
appear low. After a brief period of dry weather on Sunday, chances
of showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast Sunday night.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation may be required on Tuesday.
