This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Arkansas,
southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest Louisiana,
southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.
.DAY ONE...Today and tonight.
No hazardous weather is anticipated at this time.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
Rain will increase across the Four State Region beginning as early as
Tuesday and especially Wednesday into Thursday of next week. There
could be a developing flood threat by mid to late week across mainly
portions of Deep East Texas into Northern and Northeastern Louisiana
as a tropical system could develop across the northwest Gulf of
Mexico and move northward into Louisiana. At this time, flooding
appears to be the main threat if this system develops but the
forecast will continue to be monitored through the next 7 days.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
