Hazardous Weather Outlook...UPDATED National Weather Service Little Rock AR 927 AM CST Sun Mar 6 2022 ARZ003>008-012>017-021>025-030>034-037>047-052>057-062>069-071600- 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- 927 AM CST Sun Mar 6 2022 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas. .DAY ONE...Today and Tonight Two rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms are expected today into the overnight hours. The first round of storms, this afternoon and evening, are expected to be scattered out ahead of a frontal boundary. These storms will likely have the best chance of producing damaging winds, small hail, and tornadoes. The second round will occur tonight into the overnight hours as a line of showers and thunderstorms push through the state. Damaging winds are expected to be the primary concern associated with this round although small hail and an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. Localized heavy rainfall is also possible, particularly over the Ozarks region. The area of greatest concern for strong to severe thunderstorms will be from the western Arkansas River Valley through northeast Arkansas. The highest potential for severe storms will be during the afternoon and evening hours, though some threat will persist into the morning hours Monday. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday Through Saturday Rain chances will end on Monday afternoon and evening as the weekend cold front departs. Much colder air will move back into Arkansas, with freezing temperatures possible across portions of the north and west by Tuesday morning. Some rain chances will be noted over southern Arkansas Tuesday through Wednesday, but no hazardous or severe weather is expected through most of the coming work week. Looking further out through the remainder of the week, more widespread colder temperatures will be possible by the end of the week and into next weekend. In fact, it appears that much of the state will be in danger of additional widespread hard freezes into mid-March. In addition to late-season hard freezes, some wintry precipitation may accompany the cold snap next weekend, with some snow fall possible over portions of northwestern Arkansas and the higher terrain of the Ozark Mountains. Impactful accumulations are not anticipated, and shifts in coverage and magnitude of expected wintry precip should be expected through the week. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation is likely, especially over the northern half of Arkansas this afternoon and tonight. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web. Go to http://weather.gov/lzk. 233
