The National Weather Service in Little Rock says severe thunderstorms are possible across all of Arkansas through Tuesday. The threat will be highest over the western half of the state during the afternoon and evening hours as a line of strong thunderstorms develops along a cold front moving through.
The most serious threat will be damaging wind gusts of 60 m.p.h. or higher, especially with the storms along the front. Large hail will also be a concern with stronger storms. There will be a threat of tornadoes, but this will be highest if any isolated supercells develop out ahead of the main line of storms. Though the threat of flash flooding will not be widespread, some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing one to two inches of rainfall in a very short period of time, which will cause localized flash flooding issues.
The severe threat will decrease after midnight, as the storms weaken and move into eastern and southeast Arkansas. Here are the daily forecasts:
Tuesday Afternoon
- Showers and thunderstorms likely. Some of the storms could be severe and produce heavy rainfall. Cloudy, with a high near 72. South wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Tuesday Night
- Periods of showers and thunderstorms, mainly before 4am. Some of the storms could be severe and produce heavy rainfall. Low around 58. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
Wednesday
- A 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms before 7am. Partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 71. West northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
Wednesday Night
- Mostly clear, with a low around 50. West northwest wind 5 to 10 mph.
Thursday
- Sunny, with a high near 73. West northwest wind around 5 mph.
Thursday Night
- Mostly clear, with a low around 51. Calm wind.
Friday
- Mostly sunny, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon.
