TWO BATCHES OF SHOWERS / STORMS *12:00 noon update...
Showers and thunderstorms are passing through the River valley and NW AR. These are not in association with a sharp cold front which is still back to our west, more or less aligned with I-44, stretching from Tulsa up to Joplin. This is steadily moving to the south east and will push through our area in the later part of the day, delivering our second batch of showers and storms.
A convergent zone of moisture has helped fuel the cells that are now pushing through our area. These likely popped along an outflow boundary of air from last nights storms in Kansas. A little heat was all that was needed to make these storms fire. Small hail, gusty winds, dangerous lightning as well as heavy downpours will be the primary threats with these storms. Please exercise caution if you are traveling! There may very well be some ponding on the roadways too.

We just received of a report of penny sized hail and gusty winds from Carroll county near the Berryville area.
We just received a report of substantial wind gusts that "really rocked my pick-up truck" in the vicinity of Ozark on I-40. Please use extreme caution if you must travel.
