This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas…southwest Arkansas…north central Louisiana…
northwest Louisiana…southeast Oklahoma…east Texas and
northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE…Today and Tonight…

The line of showers and thunderstorms has diminished late this
morning as it encountered a more stable airmass. However, convective
boundaries leftover from these showers and thunderstorms, in
addition to a strong upper level storm system and associated cold
front approaching from the west, should result in the development
of scattered showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and
especially this evening over portions of extreme Eastern Texas,
Western Louisiana, and Southwest Arkansas, which should increase
in coverage and intensity as they move into north central
Louisiana. Damaging winds, large hail, isolated tornadoes, and
locally heavy rainfall will be possible, with the severe weather
threat diminishing from west to east later this evening through
the overnight hours.
