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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected through the
period with locally heavy rain possible. Several inches of rain
have fallen across a good part of the state over the past day or
so leaving the ground saturated in many areas.

Rainfall amounts could surpass three inches for much of central
and southern Arkansas through tonight leading to flash flooding
concerns. These concerns will be heightened in those areas that
have already experienced heavy rain. Area streams and rivers will
likely see some rises as the water drains off.

While a strong storm or two cannot be ruled out, widespread severe
weather is not expected and the main concern will continue to be
heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

Additional periods of rain, locally heavy, are expected Tuesday
and into Tuesday night. Several more inches of rain could fall on
saturated ground leading to additional flash flooding concerns.

Come Wednesday, a stagnant, summertime pattern is expected to
develop follow a period of heavy and persistent rainfall in the
short term. Daily chances for afternoon showers and a few
thunderstorms will prevail, with an occasional strong storm,
however no organized severe weather is anticipated. Afternoon
temperatures will be on the rising trend, with highs beginning to
approach 90F, along with muggy and sweltering conditions settling
in.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
