NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY... ...THUNDERSTORMS... FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE NIGHT THERE IS A RISK OF ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. WITH SEVERAL BOUNDARIES AROUND ASSOCIATED EARLY CONVECTION AND STRONG INSTABILITY HAVING DEVELOPED TODAY THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP AROUND THE REGION AND MAY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR WITHIN THE OUTLOOK AREA. A FEW OF THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY RISK. THINGS GET COMPLICATED TOMORROW...AND THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA AND WITH THE UNCERTAINTIES THAT NOW EXIST NO MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER CAN BE EXCLUDED. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE STILL THE HIGHEST RISK BUT THE THREAT OF A FEW TORNADOES HAS INCREASED OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. AS A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES TOWARDS THE AREA IT WILL HELP DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN NORTHEASTERN TEXAS. THESE TWO FEATURES WILL COMBINE WITH AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE ARKLAMISS AND HELP TO DEVELOP NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE SOME UNCERTAINTIES AS TO HOW UNSTABLE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL GET AND HOW STRONG THE LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL BE. THIS WILL HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON MODE AND WHAT SEVERE WEATHER TYPE CAN BE EXPECTED. THE THREAT OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS IS SIGNIFICANT...AND A TORNADO THREAT MAY EXIST DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL STRENGTH OF THE LOW LEVEL WINDS ACROSS THE REGION. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT... SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS UNTIL THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM CAN FINALLY MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE CROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH A SURFACE COLD FRONT PLOWING SOUTH EASTWARD THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. CURRENTLY... STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. AS USUAL...CHANGES IN THE FORECAST MAY OCCUR SO PLEASE MONITOR LATER UPDATES ON THIS STORM SYSTEM FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS MAY BE NEEDED SOME TIME THIS AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY AGAIN FRIDAY.
