A passing storm system could produce a few strong to severe storms Sunday afternoon. A Tornado WATCH has been issued for parts of northeast Arkansas through 11 p.m.
While this does not include our area, there will be thunderstorms that initiate in our area before tracking into these yellow shaded counties. Additional counties may need to be added for southeastern Arkansas later.
That said, there remains a risk for damaging wind and large hail. But as storms move into eastern and southeastern Arkansas late in the afternoon and evening, there could be a very low risk for tornadoes.
Storms may develop along the I-30/I-57 corridors by around mid-afternoon, continuing to press east and southeast as we get into the evening. Storms will then be at their peak as they approach the Mississippi River, eventually moving out of the state completely between 10 p.m. and midnight.
The Arkansas Storm Team will be here monitoring storms closely as we head through the evening…
