A FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN STALLED TO THE SOUTH/WEST OF
ARKANSAS THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. MEANWHILE...A NORTHWEST
WIND FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING STORM SYSTEMS TOWARD THE REGION FROM
THE PLAINS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE SYSTEMS WILL INTERACT WITH
THE FRONT...AND THAT WILL RESULT IN CLOUDS/RAIN.

WEDNESDAY...AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY. IT APPEARS RAIN WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY OVER THE
SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE STATE. IN THIS AREA...AMOUNTS WILL RANGE
FROM A HALF INCH TO OVER TWO INCHES. RAIN WILL BE MORE SCATTERED
ACROSS THE NORTH/EAST.
