Severe thunderstorms are likely across all of Arkansas on Sunday.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a level 1 and 2 risk for Sunday. This is a low risk, but any risk for severe weather needs to be taken seriously. Plus, I think it’s likely they upgrade parts of Arkansas to a level 3 risk.
All modes of severe weather will be possible. Damaging wind gusts, tornadoes, and large hail could be produced by the strongest thunderstorms on Sunday.
There will be some thunderstorms in western Arkansas on Sunday morning, but they won’t be severe. The timing of the severe thunderstorms will be in the afternoon and evening. It’s important to be weather aware from 2 pm to 11 pm on Sunday.
With these storms parts of Arkansas could record more than 2″ of rainfall in a short amount of time. This could lead to flash flooding. Much of Arkansas is under a flood watch until Monday morning.
Being weather aware means you are paying attention to the radar, have multiple ways to receive warnings, and have a safe place to go if a warning is issued over your location.
