EVENING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT

The Storm Prediction Center has extended a watch box to encompass many of our southern counties in AR. This latest watch is active through 2:00 AM. This includes Sebastian, Logan Scott and Polk counties. The northern boundary is very close to I-40. Many of our Oklahoma counties still remain under a severe thunderstorm watch too.

An intense line of storms has been racing across Texas and Oklahoma, where breaks of sunshine and very moisture rich air have fueled super cells. Although the motion of the upper level Low continues to be to the east, this line of storms may rotate through our southern area tonight. The main threat will be gusty winds and large hail, though an isolated tornado across extreme southern counties near the OK / TX border can’t be ruled out. Expect the heaviest precipitation to fall through the 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM window.
