This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest
Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

Showers and a few embedded thunderstorms will continue this
afternoon across portions of North Louisiana and Southwest
Arkansas before gradually diminishing from southwest to northeast
by mid to late afternoon. However, additional scattered showers
and thunderstorms may redevelop late this afternoon through
tonight across the region, ahead of a strong and cold upper level
storm system that will drop southeast across much of Texas.
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible across
portions of East Texas late this afternoon and early evening before
possibly spreading north northeast across North Louisiana,
Southwest Arkansas, and Southeast Oklahoma this evening and
overnight. The primary threats will be large hail and possibly
damaging winds, although an isolated tornado can not be ruled out.
Given the saturated soils in wake of widespread heavy rain that
fell last weekend, minor flooding of low lying, poor drainage
areas will also be possible from any showers and embedded
thunderstorms that produce brief heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

Areas of rain will remain ongoing Friday morning across Northeast
Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, before shifting
east across the region but gradually diminishing from west to east
through the afternoon and evening. Dry conditions will return
Saturday and continue through the first half of the new work week,
with temperatures warming to near or slightly above normal late
this weekend through early next week. Scattered showers may return
to the region by Wednesday. However, no hazardous weather is
expected.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency managers, spotter networks, and amateur
radio operators, may be needed late this afternoon and evening
over portions of the region.
