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

DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

..SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE OVER ARKANSAS THIS 
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS 
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS INCLUDES THE POSSIBILITY OF 
DAMAGING WINDS OVER 60 MPH...VERY LARGE HAIL...AND TORNADOES.

WARM...HUMID AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE NATURAL STATE TODAY. 
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL APPROACH THE STATE...AND INCREASE THE CHANGE 
OF WIND DIRECTION AND SPEED WITH HEIGHT. IN ADDITION...A STRONG COLD 
FRONT WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE PLAINS STATES THIS AFTERNOON... 
SETTING THE STAGE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. 

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO THE 
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THESE STORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND 
INTENSITY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...AND STRONGER WINDS 
WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO BE LONG LIVED.

PEOPLE IN ARKANSAS ARE URGED TO REVIEW THEIR SEVERE WEATHER RULES... 
AND MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BULLETINS FOR ANY WARNINGS...WATCHES 
..AND STATEMENTS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. USE OF NOAA 
WEATHER RADIO OR TELEVISIONS WITH ALERT FEATURES FOR SEVERE WEATHER 
WILL COME IN HANDY DURING THIS SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE.

A LAKE WIND ADVISORY IS ALSO IN EFFECT TODAY...DUE TO STRONG SOUTH 
WINDS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES OUT OF THE STATE EARLY MONDAY MORNING... 
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW 
THE FRONT...BRINGING DRY CONDITIONS TO THE STATE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY 
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. RAIN CHANCES RETURN LATE WEDNESDAY INTO 
THURSDAY...BUT NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE LIKELY ACROSS THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON 
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
