[PBARC] Severe Weather Outlook - John Robinson

[E Glenn Wolf Jr]

Friday, June 29, 2007, 9:30 AM

Isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible from this afternoon 
through mid evening in Arkansas.  Damaging winds will be the main severe 
weather threat.

On Saturday and Sunday, a weak cold front will be in the state.  As a 
result, I suspect that chances for severe weather will be a little 
greater.  Even so, I doubt that we would see more than a few severe 
thunderstorms in the state.  Again, damaging winds will probably have a 
greater chance of occurring than large hail.

On all of the days, the storms will be moving slowly, so the strongest 
storms will be capable of dropping 2 to 3 inches of rain over relatively 
small areas.

As we move into July, heat and humidity typically are capable of 
producing a couple of severe thunderstorms in the state on almost any 
given afternoon or evening.  I'd rather not have these messages be so 
redundant in calling for a couple of severe storms day after day.  Thus, 
I will confine my messages to days when it looks as though the chances 
of severe weather or flooding will be greater than normal for the summer 
months.

After today, I will be on vacation for three weeks.  If all goes as 
planned, I should have access to the Internet, so I expect to be able to 
issue any necessary message while I am on vacation.

I will issue a brief update around 3:30 PM this afternoon.
