The latest 0Z run has us in the severe weather window for Saturday morning into the early afternoon. I'm afraid that central and eastern Arkansas will really be under the gun for dangerous storms throughout the Saturday evening time frame.

Large hail and strong damaging winds throughout the area remain the most likely severe weather threats. Isolated tornadoes are still possible, especially given the amount of shear in the atmosphere. The low level jet cranks over 50 knts by Saturday morning, so we may see some elevated hail producing storms before the main line moves in. The bulk of the storms should be moving east as a squall line; however, if any storms form ahead of the line, they will likely rotate and become severe.
