Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Little Rock AR 500 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020 ARZ003>008-012>017-021>025-030>034-037>047-052>057-062>069-281000- Boone-Marion-Baxter-Fulton-Sharp-Randolph-Newton-Searcy-Stone-Izard- Independence-Lawrence-Johnson-Pope-Van Buren-Cleburne-Jackson-Logan- Conway-Faulkner-White-Woodruff-Scott-Yell-Perry-Polk-Montgomery- Garland-Saline-Pulaski-Lonoke-Prairie-Monroe-Pike-Clark-Hot Spring- Grant-Jefferson-Arkansas-Dallas-Cleveland-Lincoln-Desha-Ouachita- Calhoun-Bradley-Drew- 500 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight The remnants of Hurricane Laura are expected to move into Arkansas from Louisiana by this evening, with the system venturing to the northeast across the state tonight. Heavy rainfall is likely along the track of the system. Flash flooding is possible where storms develop and move over the same locations. Forecast rainfall amounts will range from 2 to 6 inches for much of the area, with locally higher amounts. Flooding could become serious in places, with high water possibly into homes and businesses. The area most vulnerable to flash flooding is in the west. Portions of western Arkansas have already received heavy to excessive rain this month, and the soil is saturated and unable to hold much additional water. Given this much rain, tributaries will be on the rise. Minor to moderate flooding is projected along portions of the Little Missouri, Ouachita, and Saline Rivers. The scope of river flooding may become more widespread depending on actual rainfall amounts, and where the heaviest precipitation occurs. Gusty winds are expected to accompany this system, especially from central into southern sections of the state. In this area, winds of 30 to 50 mph will be noted, with gusts over 60 mph possible. This could lead to some tree damage and power outages. There will also be a limited tornado threat across all but northwest Arkansas, generally to the north and east of the center of circulation. Tornadoes with inland tropical systems tend to be brief and weak, but can certainly cause damage. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday Rain will continue from central into northeast Arkansas on Friday as Laura weakens. Precipitation will taper off as the day progresses. Following Laura, an unsettled pattern is expected as a cold front moves into the region this weekend and stalls. The front will lift to the north early next week, and will be followed by another front from the Plains by Tuesday or so. Chances of showers and thunderstorms will be found near both fronts, especially across the northern counties. Heavy rain will be possible in the north, although the latest forecast calls for heavier amounts from Kansas to Illinois or just north of the state. This will depend on the placement of the fronts, with more rain locally if the fronts venture farther to the south than expected. Any severe weather will be spotty. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation may be needed this afternoon and evening. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web. Go to https://weather.gov/lzk. 57/46
