rainfall amounts between two and three inches will be possible
along the Interstate 30 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday...

Thunderstorms are likely across Southern Arkansas and Northeast
and North Central Louisiana Tuesday morning, mainly east of a line
from Magnolia, AR, to Many, LA. Some storms could be severe.
Damaging winds will be the primary threat, but isolated tornadoes
and large hail will be possible. In addition, locally heavy
rainfall amounts could result in isolated flooding. The storms
should exit the area by late Tuesday morning.

Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon across portions of
Southern Arkansas and Northeast and North Central Louisiana, but
severe weather is not anticipated.
