OVERNIGHT FRI–SAT⛈️Severe storms are likely Fri. night, mainly across west & NW Arkansas. Hazards include large hail, damaging wind, and possible tornadoes.
Storms weaken some Sat. morning, but more rain and storms are expected during the day, with a lingering severe risk—especially in SE Ark. #ARwx
ALERT DAY⚠️ With the potential for strong to severe storms starting Friday evening, continuing through the night into early Saturday... We've declared both days as an #ARStormTeam Alert Day!
Stay weather-aware as there will be some potential for damaging wind, large hail and perhaps tornadoes. #ARwx
Gooood Thursday morning!! Check out this beautiful sunrise over Pine Bluff!
Big thanks to Kenneth Howell for sharing this picture. #ARwx
WHAT'S NEXT?👀⛈️ Another round of strong/severe storms will be possible later Friday night. These will be much more significant in OK, but could maintain some intensity into western AR.
These will continue to spread across the state into Saturday morning, perhaps with some gusty wind and hail. #ARwx

FRIDAY⛈️ A more significant risk of severe storms will be possible, but most of this will be found in parts of eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon hours.
As those storms move into western AR late Fri. night, they could still bring a low-end severe risk. #ARwx
TOMORROW⛈️ The risk for severe storms could come a bit earlier in the evening than once thought.. This risk should remain north and west of the Metro.
Damaging wind and hail remain our primary risks, though a brief tornado touchdown cannot be ruled out. Stay with the #ARStormTeam for updates. #ARwx
HUMMINGBIRD SEASON🐦⬛ As the days grow milder and longer, the spring hummingbird migration is fast approaching... So get your feeders ready!!
We typically start to see them in mid to late-March across southern Arkansas, then early to mid-April for northern Arkansas. #ARwx #hummingbirdmigration
OVERNIGHT WED-THU🌩️ Most of Wed. will be dry... But a few showers and storms will likely develop during the evening across NW Ark.
These may be capable of producing damaging wind & hail. The tornado risk is very low--but not zero. Storms weaken as they spread a bit farther east Thu. morning. #ARwx
Another great picture of this morning's total lunar eclipse over Hot Spring County!
Thanks to Larry Moore for sharing this picture from Malvern. #ARwx

Thanks to Rodney Adams for sharing this picture from Des Arc. #ARwx
WILL IT BE ENOUGH?⛈️ While some beneficial rain is on the way, some of us will have to wait a while to get it... And even then, it likely won't be enough.
The most beneficial rain in the next week will likely spread across the western half of the state, leaving much of eastern AR lacking. #ARwx
STORMS RETURN⛈️ The chance for rain and storms will gradually increase into mid & late-week, likely continuing into the weekend. There could also be a few chances for severe weather.
The first threat appears to move in late Wednesday into Thursday for parts of western and NW Arkansas. #ARwx
Amazing shots of this morning's dense fog seen from the top of Pinnacle Mountain west of Little Rock!
Big thanks to Mike Ingram for sharing this incredible perspective! #ARwx
SATURDAY🌤️ It's going to be warm, but models are suggesting perhaps a few sprinkles may show up later in the afternoon and evening.
That chance is very low, though... So don't change your plans. Just don't be surprised if you see a brief shower. Better rain chances return next week. #ARwx
Foggy sunrise this morning in Malvern!
Thanks to Lorraine Otwell for sharing this pic. #ARwx

NEXT WEEK🌧️ Some decent rainfall is on the way... But only for parts of the state! Your best chance of seeing at least 1 inch of rain through next week exists north and west of I-30/I-57.
The good news? Models do hint at more rain down the road. We certainly need it! #ARwx
Here's something we haven't seen in a while... A rainbow! 🌈
