This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana,
southeast Oklahoma and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

A few lingering showers and thunderstorms are expected through the
overnight hours, however, no severe weather is expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

The pattern looks to remain unsettled through the end of the week as
rounds of heavy rainfall will become more likely as the front stalls
south of the region. This could reintroduce flooding concerns across
the region through the end of the week as several inches of rainfall
will be possible, mainly from Deep East Texas into North and Central
Louisiana. The rain will gradually end by this Easter weekend as the
stalled boundary finally exits to the southeast.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
