SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR 605 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2004 ARZ025-033-034-044>047-055>057-062>065-067>069-230100- ARKANSAS-BRADLEY-CALHOUN-CLEVELAND-DALLAS-DESHA-DREW-GRANT-JACKSON- JEFFERSON-LINCOLN-LONOKE-MONROE-PRAIRIE-PULASKI-WHITE-WOODRUFF- 605 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2004 ...LANDSPOUTS ARE POSSIBLE OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN ARKANSAS INTO THIS EVENING... A FEW LANDSPOUTS COULD OCCUR INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN ARKANSAS. LANDSPOUTS ARE CAUSED BY MECHANISMS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE THAT CAUSE TORNADOES SO THEY USUALLY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME DEADLY POTENTIAL. LANDSPOUTS ARE TYPICALLY OBSERVED BENEATH CUMULONIMBUS OR TOWERING CUMULUS CLOUDS AND ARE ESSENTIALLY THE LAND BASED EQUIVALENTS OF WATERSPOUTS. LANDSPOUTS DO NOT ARISE FROM ORGANIZED STORM SCALE ROTATION...SO THEY WILL OFTEN NOT BE DETECTED BY RADAR. VISUALLY... UNLIKE TORNADOES...LANDSPOUTS WILL NOT USUALLY BE PRECEDED BY A WALL CLOUD. LANDSPOUTS CAN BE SPAWNED IN NOTHING MORE THAN A SHOWER...WITH NO THUNDER PRESENT. LANDSPOUTS ARE OFTEN NEARLY STATIONARY DUE TO WEAK ENVIRONMENTAL WINDS. IF A LANDSPOUT HAPPENS TO TOUCH THE GROUND...IT COULD CAUSE MINOR DAMAGE. IF ONE APPROACHES YOUR AREA...YOU SHOULD SEEK SHELTER IN A STURDY BUILDING. AVOID OPEN AREAS WHERE LOOSE OBJECTS COULD BE BLOWN AROUND SHOULD A LANDSPOUT PASS BY YOUR LOCATION. 46
