Severe storms are possible for the upcoming weekend according to the National Weather Service

  • A strong cold front will surge through Arkansas from the Plains on Saturday. The front will trigger showers and thunderstorms.

  • There is a risk of severe thunderstorms on Saturday as the front plows into an unseasonably mild (springlike) and unstable environment across the state. Data currently indicates all modes of severe weather (including tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail) will be possible.

  • Cooler and more seasonal air will follow the front Saturday night and Sunday. Residual moisture may yield a few snowflakes in the Ozark Mountains before precipitation ends Sunday afternoon.
