ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE ENTIRE FOUR STATE REGION...ESPECIALLY WEST OF A DE QUEEN ARKANSAS TO HEMPHILL TEXAS LINE. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER RISKS WILL BE HAIL...GREATER THAN THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH...AND DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MILES AN HOUR. A DISTURBANCE...IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE FOUR STATE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
