...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 279 IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM CDT THIS
MORNING...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected today through tonight as
a stationary front continues to linger across the region. Damaging
wind gusts and large hail will be the primary threats, but an
isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out across parts of the
I-20 and I-30 corridors. Finally, areas of heavy rainfall may also
pose a threat of localized flash flooding with thunderstorms that
train over the same areas, especially along the I-30 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

The potential for strong to severe thunderstorms will persist
through Wednesday and Wednesday night as the frontal boundary is
expected to remain nearly stationary and linger across the region.
Damaging wind gusts and large hail will remain possible. An isolated
tornado also cannot be ruled out.

By late week and through the weekend, thunderstorm chances will
decrease while temperatures increase into the mid and upper 90s to
near 100 degrees with heat advisory conditions possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed through tonight and possibly
again on Wednesday.
