THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SLOWLY THROUGH ARKANSAS TODAY FROM THE WEST. 
BY NOON...THE FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM AROUND BATESVILLE TO BENTON AND 
TEXARKANA...WITH THE FRONT ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY LATE 
EVENING. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE 
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. 

AHEAD OF THE FRONT...A BREEZY SOUTH WIND IS IN THE FORECAST...WITH 
THE WIND SHIFTING TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT. WIND SPEEDS OF 
15 TO 25 MPH WILL BE COMMON...ESPECIALLY FROM LATE MORNING THROUGH 
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED AS A 
RESULT. 

ALONG WITH A WIND SHIFT...THE FRONT WILL BRING COLDER AIR TO 
ARKANSAS. IN FACT...FALLING TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED IN NORTHERN 
AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE.

WHILE THE FRONT WILL BE STRONG...SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED 
TODAY. THE AIR ALOFT IS RATHER WARM...AND WILL TEND TO CAP THE 
ATMOSPHERE. ALSO...THE MAIN SYSTEM ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT 
WILL HEAD WELL NORTH OF THE STATE...AND WILL HAVE LITTLE EFFECT IN 
BREAKING THE CAP.      

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BEHIND THE FRONT ON MONDAY AND 
WILL BE THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. 
TEMPERATURES WILL TEND TO BE AT OR BELOW NORMAL. 

THE HIGH WILL HEAD EAST ON WEDNESDAY...WITH THE WIND BECOMING MORE 
SOUTHERLY. A NEW COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE FROM THE PLAINS BY THURSDAY 
OR SO...BUT MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED. THEREFORE...RAIN CHANCES WITH 
THE FRONT WILL REMAIN SMALL. 

THE WIND FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME MORE ORIENTED FROM NORTHWEST TO 
SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. A STORM SYSTEM WILL FOLLOW THE 
FLOW FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS BY NEXT WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF 
RAIN IN THE FORECAST. THE SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD 
AIR...WITH RAIN POSSIBLY MIXING WITH SNOW IN NORTHERN SECTIONS OF 
THE STATE.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED.
