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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Showers and thunderstorms continue in the forecast today and
tonight as a storm system moves into the state. Some strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and evening.
Damaging winds and large hail will be possible and a few tornadoes
cannot be ruled out. This afternoon through tonight will be the
best timing for severe thunderstorms. Heavy rainfall may also be
seen.

Expect the threat for strong to severe thunderstorms to decrease
late tonight into early Wednesday.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday Through Monday

Another severe weather episode is expected on Wednesday as a strong
cold front moves through the state. All severe weather hazards,
including damaging winds...hail...and tornadoes will be possible.
Coverage of severe weather looks to be particularly likely over
the eastern half of Arkansas during the afternoon to later
evening hours. There will also be potential for locally heavy
rainfall, following up on a few days of periodic heavy rainfall,
and could result in some local flooding issues.

Be sure to continue to monitor the latest official forecast
information for details as we continue through this multi-day severe
weather event.

Also of note is that there could be some areas of patchy frost in
the northwest portions of the forecast area on Thursday morning,
with lows dropping into the mid to upper 30s. Those with
agricultural ventures should take notice and make necessary
preparations. Another round of cold weather could affect the area
in the middle of next week.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation may be needed each day through Wednesday
evening.
