More storms and heavy rainfall on the way for Arkansas followed by hot and humid conditions next week

From the National Weather Service In Little Rock:

--Another complex of strong to severe storms is expected to move through the forecast area as soon as the early morning hours on Friday, extending into the daytime on Friday. The main hazards of this storm system would be damaging winds and large hail.  

--Where storms move over the same locations repeatedly, the risk for flash flooding will increase given wet antecedent conditions of late. Additional heavy rainfall over swollen smaller tributaries will keep local river levels elevated as well. 

--Heading into next week, hot, humid, and oppressive conditions are expected to ensue, with hazardous heat index values possible as early as Monday. 

As always, tune into your local National Weather Service forecast offices for the latest updates.
