ARKANSAS, USA — As many make plans for holiday travel, here’s something you might want to consider.
On Monday, southern and southeastern Arkansas are under a ‘Slight Risk’ for severe weather and damaging wind will be the main concern. However, an isolated, brief tornado cannot be ruled out.
This is all thanks to a potent cold front that quickly moves through on Monday afternoon into the overnight hours and into Tuesday morning.
Showers will begin spotty in nature, transitioning into scattered thunderstorms by mid-morning MOnday. The strongest line of storms will likely move through between lunchtime and dinnertime (approx. 12:00 pm-6:00 p.m.)
This is also when the best overall rain coverage and severe threat is expected to happen.
Isolated showers and thunderstorms will continue overnight into Tuesday morning, but the overall rain threat will end by midday. Cooler and drier conditions are expected through the Thanksgiving holiday.
Be sure to download the THV11 app which will allow you to select weather warnings.
A NOAA Weather Radio will also keep you informed in the event severe weather occurs near you. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your NOAA Weather radio in case of a power outage.
The THV11 Weather team will be here for you in case the weather gets bad.
