.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM THROUGH 8 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible later today
through tonight across portions of the Four State Region. Some of
these storms could be strong to severe, producing a damaging wind
and large hail threat across mainly portions of Southwest
Arkansas and Northern Louisiana. In addition to the severe weather
threat, there will continue to be an elevated fire danger threat
across the entire Four State Region through this evening due to
low afternoon humidity, southerly winds and very dry fuels. A Heat
Advisory remains in effect today for afternoon heat indices
ranging between 105 and 109 degrees.

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

The heat will hang around through at least Friday across portions
of the Four State Region for high afternoon heat indices.
Otherwise isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible
across the entire Four State Region through Saturday, and again to
Monday into Tuesday of next week. The rain chances should help to
temper the heat for the weekend into early next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel, amateur radio
operators, and storm spotters may be needed this afternoon through
tonight. Please relay any information about observed severe
weather to the NWS while following all local, state, and CDC
