..ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...

A STORM SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY...AND WILL
APPROACH ARKANSAS SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...WARM
AND VERY MOIST AIR ALONG THE GULF COAST WILL BE PULLED NORTHWARD...
WITH THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZING ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL SET
THE STAGE FOR A POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. 

THE FIRST PHASE OF THE EVENT IS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
MONDAY...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING WIDESPREAD. RAIN IS
EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY AT TIMES...WITH THE GROUND BECOMING SATURATED IN
SOME AREAS.

PHASE TWO OF THE EVENT WILL OCCUR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT AS THE
SYSTEM IN THE PLAINS ARRIVES. THE SYSTEM WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT
THROUGH ARKANSAS...WITH A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS MAY OCCUR WITH THE LINE
OF STORMS. IN AREAS WHERE THE GROUND IS NEARLY SATURATED FROM RAIN
EARLIER IN THE DAY...HIGH WATER PROBLEMS MAY BE NOTED.

IN ALL...WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN MAY OCCUR...WITH
LOCALLY HEAVIER AMOUNTS. THESE AMOUNTS ARE VALID FROM SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

OF COURSE...INFOMRATION REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER AND
HEAVY RAIN EVENT IS VERY PRELIMINARY...AND FORECAST CHANGES MAY OCCUR
BEFORE THE EVENT UNFOLDS. YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL BE
MONITORING THE SITUATION VERY CLOSELY.

PEOPLE ACROSS ARKANSAS ARE ADVISED TO PLAN FOR ACTIVE WEATHER SUNDAY
NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS FOR THE MOST UP TO
DATE INFORMATION.
