Severe Weather Risk

TUESDAY IS A FOX16 SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY

A slow moving front moving into the State accompanied by a potent upper level disturbance will bring another round of strong to severe thunderstorms to parts of the State Tuesday.
Below are the current watches and warnings.

The front will move into Arkansas Tuesday as a wave of low pressure moves up along the front. This will trigger another round of storms by late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening. Storms will begin to develop during the late afternoon hours.

The storms will initially pose a hail and tornado risk, transitioning into a more of a wind risk by later in the evening.

Storms may move over the same area through the late evening hours, with the threat for locally very heavy rain and flash flooding.

The Storm Prediction Center has issued a MODERATE Risk area for parts of Central Arkansas Tuesday.

The main severe weather risks will be gusty winds and hail. A tornado threat may also come into play, but this is still somewhat in question. Pay close attention to the weather tonight and tomorrow and be ready to heed any warnings that are issued.
