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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

A complex of severe storms will affect roughly the southwestern
half of Arkansas this morning into early afternoon. Damaging winds
and large hail will be the primary threats. While tornadoes are
unlikely today, the threat is non-zero.

Torrential rainfall will lead to an increased potential for flash
flooding, especially with saturated soils over much of
northwestern, western, central, and southern sections. Ongoing
river flooding will worsen as a result with flashy rivers expected
to see rapid rises.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday Through Thursday

Saturday and into the new work week...the chances for showers and
thunderstorms will decrease. However...hot, humid, and at times,
oppressive condtions will ensue over the region Sunday into the
middle of next week. Daily high temperatures will climb into the low
to mid 90s...and heat index values will likely approach or exceed
100 to 105 degrees some afternoons, with Sunday and Monday currently
exhibiting the most widespread potential for heat advisory level
heat index values (105 degrees or greater).

In addition to a daytime heat threat, nightly lows will also be of
concern...e.g. overnight lows in the mid 70s coupled with dewpoint
temperatures in the low 70s, resulting in minimal overnight
relief/cooling potential.

Given multiple days of oppressive heat and poor overnight
cooling/relief in the forecast through the first half of next week,
please be sure to check up on those who will be most vulnerable,
adjust outdoor plans accordingly, and make sure pets are brought
inside during peak heating hours.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation will be needed through this afternoon.
