HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
910 PM CDT THU JUL 12 2001

...THUNDERSTORMS...
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER ACROSS SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND NORTHEAST
LOUISIANA. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF
MISSISSIPPI...BUT THESE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE.

A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDED FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS ACROSS NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT. THE ATMOSPHERE WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER REMAINS VERY UNSTABLE. THEREFORE...ANY STORMS
WHICH DEVELOP IN THIS AREA COULD BECOME SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL
AND WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH POSSIBLE. THE ATMOSPHERE OVER
MISSISSIPPI HAS BEEN STABILIZED BY NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WHICH
MOVED ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS SHOULD
KEEP THUNDERSTORMS HERE FROM BEING SEVERE.

STORM SPOTTERS OVER SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND NORTHEAST LOUISIANA
SHOULD MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT.

...FLOODING...
THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAIN AND PONDING OF WATER
IN LOW LYING AREAS ACROSS SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST
LOUISIANA AND NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...GENERALLY NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 55. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS
THIS AREA IS EXTREMELY MOIST. THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOP ALONG A
STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THIS AREA COULD PRODUCE 2 TO 3 INCHES OF
RAIN IN LESS THAN AN HOUR...CAUSING TEMPORARY PONDING OF WATER IN
LOW LYING AND FLOOD PRONE AREAS.
