Tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail will be possible. Thunderstorms are expected to develop as discrete supercells and eventually congeal into a linear complex. Given the strongly sheared environment, a few of these tornadoes could be strong. Heavy rain and isolated flash flooding may also become a concern. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. No hazardous weather is anticipated. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will likely be needed this afternoon and into early Tuesday morning.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana, east Texas and northeast Texas. .DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and into the overnight hours. Some of these storms could be severe, especially from late this afternoon into early Tuesday morning. Tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail will be possible. Thunderstorms are expected to develop as discrete supercells and eventually congeal into a linear complex.

In these areas, widespread 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected, with locally higher amounts of 3 inches or more. Therefore, a Flood Watch is in effect through Tuesday morning. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. Lingering showers and thunders will be possible in our eastern zones as the line exits the region. A few of these may be strong to severe.
