SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND MOVING INTO EASTERN ARKANSAS AT THIS TIME . THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE DEVELOPING RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD CONTINUE TO OCCUR OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS PEAK DAYTIME HEATING WILL PROVIDE A MOIST UNSTABLE AIRMASS FOR THE STORMS TO INITIATE.

EVENTUALLY WHATEVER STORMS ARE ONGOING WILL MERGE INTO A LINE DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THE SEVERE THREAT WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET AS WE LOSE INSTABILITY.
