A current cluster of thunderstorms this late morning is projected to move eastward, entering a rapidly destabilizing and highly volatile air mass across northern and central Arkansas. The region will experience significant heating due to predominantly clear skies. This, combined with abundant deep low-level moisture, an incoming disturbance, and robust instability, sets the stage for severe storms in central Arkansas, extending to the eastern part by evening. These storms primarily pose risks of large hail, destructive winds, and localized heavy downpours.
Main risk: large hail, damaging straight-line winds and local heavy rainfall.
Timing: Storms are expected to continue forming around 3-5pm CDT and move across the region before losing strength into eastern AR.
Locations Impacted: central, northeast, east, and southeast AR.
Stay tuned for more updates.
