Parts of northeastern Arkansas and east-central Arkansas are within a High Risk for severe weather (level 5 out of 5). However, the majority of the state is in either an Enhanced Risk (level 3 out of 5), Moderate Risk (level 4 out of 5), or as mentioned above a High Risk (level 5 out of 5). All severe weather hazards will be possible across the state today including: large hail (baseball size to potentially larger), damaging wind gusts (in excess of 80+ mph), and tornadoes (a few which may be long-track and violent... especially across northeastern and east-central Arkansas). Flash flooding is also a major concern as these thunderstorms will be efficient rain producers and may proceed to lead to an overwhelming amount of rainfall falling in a short period of time. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday The threat for severe weather will decrease slightly for Thursday...but will still see some threat for large hail...damaging winds...and an isolated tornado. Thursday's most concerning hazard at the time looks to be a decent confidence in large hail across portions of central and southwestern Arkansas. A front will become stalled over some portion of Arkansas by late today...remaining over the state into the weekend. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible...resulting in several inches of rainfall. The threat for flash and/or river flooding will increase significantly by late this week. A large portion of the state is forecast to experience total rainfall amounts from today through Sunday morning of 4 to 8 inches statewide, with values of 10+ inches possible across northeastern Arkansas. .Spotter Information Statement... Spotter activation will be needed today across the state, especially across the eastern 2/3rds of the state which encompasses the Moderate and High Risk contours via the Storm Prediction Center. Spotters should be prepared to possibly encounter all hazards: large hail of baseball size or larger, damaging wind gusts of 60 mph to 80+ mph, a tornadoes (a few which could be violent and long-track). Additionally, spotters should be prepared to encounter flash flooding and understand as this threat does extend into the evening hours the dangers associated with spotting at night. && Visit NWS Little Rock on the web.
