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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTHEAST HALF OF ARKANSAS
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL EXIT TO THE NORTHEAST BY THIS AFTERNOON.
PRECIPITATION WILL BE FOLLOWED BY WARMER AIR AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS
INTO THE STATE FROM THE GULF COAST.

MEANWHILE...A STRONG STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK FROM COLORADO INTO
NORTHWEST MISSOURI THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE
BREEZY EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ACROSS THE REGION.

THE SYSTEM WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT TOWARD ARKANSAS...WITH
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT. SOME OF THESE
STORMS COULD BUILD INTO THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES TONIGHT...AND COULD
BRING SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER...SEVERE STORMS WILL BE MOST LIKELY IN
SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THE FRONT TO THE WEST WILL STALL AS HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS OVER
THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. THE HIGH WILL KEEP UNSETTLED WEATHER
MAINLY TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE STATE THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH
WARM CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION.

LATE IN THE WEEK...IT APPEARS THE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO ARKANSAS.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE FRONT...RESULTING IN
SEVERAL DAYS OF CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION.

THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF MOISTURE THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.
PRECIPITATION WILL FOCUS AROUND THE SLOW MOVING FRONT...AND COULD
BECOME HEAVY TO EXCESSIVE...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTHWEST HALF OF
ARKANSAS.
