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

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT 

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION FROM THE PLAINS TODAY. 
UNDER THE HIGH...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 90S THIS 
AFTERNOON...WITH A FEW SPOTS NEAR 100 DEGREES. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL 
BE GREATEST IN ABOUT THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE STATE TODAY. THE HIGH 
HUMIDITY AND HOT TEMPERATURES WILL CREATE HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 105 
AND 110 DEGREES. GIVEN THIS...A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN POSTED TODAY 
FOR ARKADELPHIA...LITTLE ROCK AND AUGUSTA...AND AREAS FARTHER SOUTH 
AND EAST.

IN THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE STATE...WHILE IT WILL BE HOT...MOISTURE 
LEVELS WILL NOT BE AS HIGH...WITH HEAT INDICES FROM THE UPPER 90S TO 
AROUND 105 DEGREES.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND 
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNSET. SOME OF THE STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP 
WILL PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH AND SOME SMALL 
HAIL. THESE STORMS WILL BE VERY SLOW MOVERS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN 
AND LOCALIZED FLOODING CAN NOT BE RULED OUT.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE HOT AND MOSTLY DRY WEATHER 
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HEAT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE POSTED FOR MUCH 
OF THE STATE FRIDAY THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY. AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX 
VALUES WILL RANGE FROM 105 TO 115 DEGREES...MAINLY FROM CENTRAL INTO 
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...AND 100 TO 105 DEGREES IN THE NORTH.

HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN PUSHING TO THE 
SOUTH. THIS WILL CREATE A NORTHWEST WIND ALOFT...WITH A COLD FRONT 
RIDING THE FLOW TOWARD ARKANSAS FROM THE PLAINS. AHEAD OF THE 
FRONT...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL POP UP MONDAY AND 
TUESDAY. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ON WEDNESDAY...AND MAY BE 
FOLLOWED BY SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR LATER IN THE WEEK.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
