Heavy rain and strong thunderstorms are in the forecast today. A surface low near Oklahoma and moderate lift in the upper levels of the atmosphere has resulted in numerous storms building across the Southern Plains. Eventually these storms will trail into Arkansas early this afternoon. Since there is moderate rotation at the low levels of the atmosphere there is the possibility of brief, short-lived tornadoes to develop mainly in Western Arkansas this afternoon and portions of Central Arkansas early this evening.
After the tornado threat passes tonight we'll be left with downpours and cooler temperatures in the 70's and 60's. Since 1-3" of rain could fall in the next 12 hours, flash flooding could be an issue in a few remote areas in the state. Be sure to keep it tuned to FOX 16 for the latest information.
