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

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A WARM FRONT WAS LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING. 
AREAS OF DENSE FOG FORMED OVERNIGHT NORTH OF THE FRONT AND WILL 
PERSIST THROUGH THE MID-MORNING HOURS OVER THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE 
STATE. THUS...A DENSE FOG ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM THIS 
MORNING FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY NORTH OF A JASPER...CLINTON TO 
BATESVILLE LINE.

THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE LIFTING SLOWLY NORTHWARD 
TODAY. THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE FRONT WILL BECOME WARMER AND MORE 
UNSTABLE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
PERSIST NORTH OF THE FRONT THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY...WITH THE 
ACTIVITY REMAINING SCATTERED IN NATURE SOUTH OF THE FRONT.

MEANWHILE...A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING WESTERN TEXAS EARLY THIS 
MORNING IS FORECAST TO TRACK NORTHEASTWARD LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. 
A COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWARD FROM THE LOW WILL APPROACH ARKANSAS 
LATER TODAY AND MOVE ACROSS THE STATE TONIGHT. AS THE FRONT MOVES 
INTO THE WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL 
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENTUALLY PUSH INTO SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS 
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE STORMS ARE LIKELY TO REACH 
SEVERE LEVELS QUICKLY.

THE STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF ARKANSAS TONIGHT. IT 
APPEARS THAT SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE MOST LIKELY ACROSS CENTRAL AND 
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE STATE. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS WILL 
BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE 
AS WELL.

SHOULD THIS EVENT MATERIALIZE...IT WILL BE THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT 
EVENT OF THE SEVERE WEATHER SEASON. PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATURAL STATE 
ARE ADVISED TO PREPARE FOR SEVERE STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND 
TONIGHT. CHECK THE LATEST FORECAST...AND LOOK FOR FURTHER STATEMENTS 
FROM YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
