NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY... ...THUNDERSTORMS... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM SLAMS INTO THE REGION. THE MAJORITY OF THE SEVERE WEATHER ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 12 AM AND 12 PM. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND INTO ARKANSAS TONIGHT. AS THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS...A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT PLACING THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IN A MOIST AND VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. AS THIS OCCURS...THE UPPER LOW WILL SPREAD STRONG WINDS INTO THE AREA. AS THESE FEATURES CLASH...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP TO OUR WEST. TWO ROUNDS OF ACTIVITY ARE ANTICIPATED OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. THE FIRST ROUND LOOKS TO EFFECT THE WEST PORTION BETWEEN 12 AM AND 6 AM. THE SECOND ROUND LOOKS TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN MISSISSIPPI. THIS ACTIVITY LOOKS TO OCCUR BETWEEN 6AM AND 12 PM. EACH ROUND OF STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS MOVING AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE. ANY SUPERCELL WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE SQUALL LINE WILL BRING AN ADDITIONAL DAMAGING WIND AND LARGE HAIL THREAT. PARAMETERS APPEAR TO BE COMING TOGETHER TO SUPPORT A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. THE GREATEST RISK OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS...POTENTIALLY PRODUCING VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING TORNADOES...LOOKS TO BE SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR...ESPECIALLY ALONG HIGHWAY 84 FROM NATCHEZ TO LAUREL. PEOPLE IN THE ARKLAMISS REGION SHOULD MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS CLOSELY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. ...FLOODING... PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP TONIGHT AND MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. THE SOIL REMAINS SOGGY FROM RAINFALL YESTERDAY AND RAINFALL RUNOFF MAY PRODUCE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND IN LOW LYING AREAS. DUE TO THE STEADY FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...RAINFALL AMOUNTS AROUND 1 INCH WILL BE COMMON. SOME OF THE MORE INTENSE STORMS MAY PRODUCE HIGHER AMOUNTS...POSSIBLY UP TO TWO INCHES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
