Another Monday, another chance of severe weather. This one looks more plausible than the one we had earlier this week, but it also looks more like most of it will stay in Oklahoma and Missouri. Still, all threats are possible with wind, hail, and possibly a tornado.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

We have a beautiful afternoon in the works!

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Widespread showers and a few non-severe storms are heading gradually eastward this afternoon towards Little Rock. Expect 1-3 inches of rain before the end of the day.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

The line of storms in Oklahoma is heading our way and is expected to bring heavy rain, gusty wind, and possibly and isolated tornado to the Natural State tomorrow. It'll enter western Arkansas before sunrise and move across the state throughout the day.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

We'll have a few showers and sprinkles tomorrow evening, mainly across western Arkansas. No storms are expected until Monday.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Showers are draped across most of the southern half of the state and circling around a low pressure system in northeast Texas. It's going to be a wet day.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

A few showers have managed to pop up along I-40 and they're heading north. Storms are unlikely today given the lack of energy in the atmosphere.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

We have a few showers and storms forming north of Little Rock this afternoon ahead of our next cold front. No severe weather is expected and the activity will start winding down after sunset.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Showers and a few non-severe storms are expected this evening across northern Arkansas. They should only last a few hours before falling apart as the air cools.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

We're set to fall into the upper 40s by sunrise tomorrow, so early risers like myself may want to bundle up!

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

The cold front is finally clearing out the rest of our rain potential as it gradually moves south across Arkansas. We've also confirmed that the tornado in Hot Springs Village was an EF-2.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

The storm that is most likely to produce a tornado is just southeast of Norman heading almost due east closer to Mazarn. No tornado yet, but we're watching it closely.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

A new severe storm has managed to strengthen just west of Mena. Main threats are wind gusts to 60mph and quarter-size hail.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

A new little squall line of storms has managed to form on the leading edge of this main cluster that includes Searcy county. Main threats are wind gusts to 60mph and quarter-size hail.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Tornado Watch in effect until 9pm for northwestern Arkansas. We expect storms to move into these areas over the next 2 hours.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

No tornado watches in Arkansas yet, but there is one in Oklahoma where all those severe storms are lined up along the cold front.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Severe storms are expected to start moving into western Arkansas between 5 and 6pm. By 8pm, they should be spread across most of central Arkansas.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

Warmth returns in force the next few days, but at the cost of new rain chances starting Wednesday and lasting through next weekend.

[Matthew Posgai @WXManPosgai]

It's slightly warmer than expected, but I haven't heard any complaints yet.
