This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for a Large Part of Arkansas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

More showers and thunderstorms will develop late this morning
through this afternoon and evening. Severe weather will be possible
with this activity across much of the state. However...the best
potential for seeing severe thunderstorms will be across the
northeast third of the area. Very large hail up to or greater than
baseball size...and damaging winds possibly in excess of 70 mph will
be the main threats. A few tornadoes will also be
possible...especially across northeast Arkansas. While widespread
heavy rainfall isn`t expected...locally heavy rainfall could result
in some flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

More severe weather will be possible on Saturday as activity from
Oklahoma and Texas moves into southwestern sections of the state
Saturday afternoon/evening. Very large hail and some damaging
winds will be the primary threats expected with the strongest
thunderstorms. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible.

The potential for organized severe weather does decrease for
Sunday into Monday...but thunderstorms will remain possible. A few
thunderstorms could be strong to severe as well on Sunday and
Monday. However...the potential for more organized severe weather
looks to return for Tuesday as a new stronger storm system moves
across the region.

.Spotter Information Statement...

Spotter activation may be needed through tonight.
