Well, the latest weather models are out and they all agree that Mother Nature could bring us a good dousing sometime early next week. Before you stop watering the lawn and washing the car, you might want to keep this thought in mind - besides the rain chances there will be a shot at some strong thunderstorms in Central Arkansas.
As a weak cold front struggles to move southward Monday afternoon, there will be an unstable air mass out ahead of it in Arkansas. If there is enough forcing present and daytime heating, we could see large hail and gusty winds develop. When it comes to a tornado threat it appears it is slim to none at this point with the lack of strong upper level winds.
The Storm Prediction Center has taken note of this setup and issued a slight risk of severe weather for Arkansas. If you're not familiar with slight risk outlook, it just means that well-organized severe thunderstorms are expected but in relatively small numbers/coverage.
No matter what SPC has to say about our weather, we'll continue to monitor the severe threats late Monday. Be sure to keep it tuned to FOX 16 News for the latest on this developing story.
