SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LITTLE ROCK AR
130 PM CDT THU SEP 19 2002

..SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...

THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN WESTERN
ARKANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE STATE THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS ARKANSAS TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
OCCUR ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP.

THE MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THIS LINE WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS. FACTORS THAT COULD LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE THE
CLOUD COVER OVER THE STATE TODAY...AND THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THAT HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED. SUCH PRECIPITATION TENDS TO DECREASE THE
AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY AVAILABLE. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE OVER
ARKANSAS IS VERY MOIST...AND THIS IS AN INDICATION THAT HEAVY RAIN
MAY OCCUR WITH THE STORMS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES
WILL BE COMMON IN MANY AREAS. SHOULD THE THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO SLOW
THEIR MOVEMENT AS THEY CROSS THE STATE TONIGHT...LARGER AMOUNTS COULD
OCCUR.

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS MAY BE REQUIRED
IN WESTERN ARKANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND OVER THE REST OF THE
STATE TONIGHT.
