This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.
This Afternoon and Tonight... Thunderstorms will gradually become more widespread and increase in intensity across our northern areas early this afternoon, with a few damaging wind gusts possible. The threat for severe storms will increase significantly as we move into the mid to late afternoon and evening hours, as a cold front brings these storms southward across the entire region. Damaging winds and large hail will be the primary threats, but a few tornadoes and even some localized flooding cannot be ruled out. The threat for severe storms will gradually diminish during the overnight hours, as the cold front moves away from our area.
Saturday through Thursday... No hazardous weather is expected at this time.
Spotter Information Statement... Activation of emergency management personnel, amateur radio operators, and storm spotters will likely be needed by late this afternoon through this evening.
