This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for our Four-State area of southern
Arkansas, northern Louisiana, eastern Texas and southeast Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and tonight.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

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

Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible again
late on Tuesday over deep eastern Texas and Toledo Bend country of
Louisiana. Then, we will see scattered thunderstorm activity that
will progressively spread farther northward each day, Wednesday
through Friday as weak upper-level disturbances move overhead. These
disturbances will be further influenced by moisture pooling along a
weak cold front over Arkansas. Thunderstorm coverage and intensity
will diminish somewhat over the weekend as that weak front falls
apart and just washes away.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
