THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR A LARGE PART OF ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO PUSH SLOWLY AWAY FROM THE REGION WITH WEAK 
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND IT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY COOL 
INTO THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

MUCH OF ARKANSAS IS UNDER A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER SATURDAY.

THE COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE STATE FRIDAY EVENING WILL 
RETURN IN THE FORM OF A WARM FRONT SATURDAY. SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS FRONT AS IT MOVES 
NORTH THROUGH THE REGION. WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE AIR WILL MOVE 
NORTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO BEHIND THE FRONT.

ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS INDICATE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE 
ALONG THE WARM FRONT DURING THE MID AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING 
HOURS. LATEST INDICATIONS ARE THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE AREA WILL 
BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEEING SEVERE WEATHER. THE EXACT LOCATION OF 
THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE DEPENDENT UPON WHERE THE WARM FRONT 
ACTUALLY ENDS UP. LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE...AS 
WINDS WILL BE TURNING WITH HEIGHT.

THE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE STATE 
LATE SATURDAY AND SWEEP ACROSS THE STATE DURING THE EVENING HOURS. 
THIS FRONT WILL COMBINE WITH THE UNSTABLE AIR TO PRODUCE ANOTHER 
ROUND OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS. ONCE AGAIN ...SOME OF THESE 
THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE SEVERE.

LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE 
COLD FRONT. DUE TO THE STRONG ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM... 
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. 

BE PREPARED FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL ON SATURDAY...AND 
REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE OUT OF THE STATE SUNDAY. DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN 
FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE 
REGION. ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TUESDAY...BRINGING THE 
NEXT CHANCE OF RAINFALL.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
