As a warm front moves into Missouri from Arkansas the threat of afternoon isolated storm will be present across the far northern part of the state. The main hazards with any storms that do become severe will be damaging wind gusts and large hail.
High temperatures on Thursday are forecast to be in the mid 80s across the higher terrain into the mid to upper 90s across the remainder of the state. Thursday Night/Friday Morning low temperatures will bottom out in the mid 70s to upper 70s across the state.
A Marginal Risk for severe weather (level 1 out of 5) will be possible across the northern half of Arkansas. The main hazards will be damaging wind gusts and large hail with any storm that does manage to become severe. The event on Friday is anticipated to produce more storms overall across the state than the severe weather potential for Thursday.
Daily afternoon thunderstorms have returned to the forecast, and with it, the threat for afternoon lightning. Be sure to take proper precautions if you hear thunder and/or see lightning!
