Hazards include damaging wind gusts, large hail, and tornadoes. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday After a brief lull on Saturday, chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms will return late Sunday, with a more widespread heavy rain event unfolding Tuesday through Thursday. The forecast calls for two to more than four inches of rain, and the heaviest amounts should be over southern Arkansas. This is concerning given that some rivers are already elevated, and soil moisture is well above average and cannot hold much additional water. There is also a potential for strong to severe thunderstorms Tuesday night into early Wednesday. .Spotter Information Statement...
