TONIGHT...AND WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES. TWO TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN
WILL BE COMMON IN MUCH OF ARKANSAS...WITH LOCALLY MORE. THIS
MUCH RAIN COULD CAUSE SOME HIGH WATER PROBLEMS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH

HOURS. THE SYSTEM WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO THE STATE...WITH MUCH
COLDER AIR TO FOLLOW.
RAIN AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE EARLY THURSDAY AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. AS THE FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION...A SQUALL LINE
MAY DEVELOP. STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS COULD OCCUR WITH THIS LINE...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ARKANSAS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO
COULD NOT BE RULED OUT...BUT TORNADOES WILL BE MORE LIKELY ALONG THE
GULF COAST.
AS COLDER AIR ARRIVES...RAIN WILL LIKELY CHANGE TO LIGHT SNOW ACROSS

CLEARING WILL OCCUR FROM THE SOUTHWEST. WHILE THERE MAY BE
SUNSHINE IN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...A FEW
FLURRIES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE NORTH AS MOISTURE WRAPS AROUND THE
DEPARTING SYSTEM TO THE NORTH.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD OVER THE REGION FROM THE WEST THIS
WEEKEND. WINDS WILL BECOME LESS OF AN ISSUE...AND DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED.
EARLY NEXT WEEK...DATA SHOWS A STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE
WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. IT APPEARS THE SYSTEM WILL HEAD TOWARD THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES...AND WILL SPREAD MOISTURE INTO ARKANSAS BY
TUESDAY. WHILE PRECIPITATION IS IN THE FORECAST...IT IS MUCH TOO
EARLY TO SPECULATE WHAT TYPES OF PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR...OR HOW
MUCH. DETAILS WILL BECOME MORE CLEAR IN THE COMING DAYS.
