Storms Monday June 11

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for much of Northern Arkansas through late this afternoon. A line of thunderstorms is moving Southward through Missouri which will impact Northern Counties by about Noon. In addition, individual storms will develop ahead of this line, with a significant threat if large hail and some isolated wind gusts also possible.

The threat of storms for Central Arkansas will increase later this afternoon into the evening hours as storms begin to shift South. The Storm Prediction Center indicates a SLIGHT risk for severe storms for today with hail and wind the primary threats.

The tornado threat is overall low, however, a brief tornado cannot be completely ruled out with some of the stronger individual storms during the afternoon and early evening hours.
