The National Weather Service forecasts severe weather for this area for the next few days.
According to the National Weather Service’s Little Rock office, there will be an increased chance for strong to severe storms beginning Wednesday as an unsettled pattern continues for the state through the weekend.
The primary threats with the strongest storms would be very large hail and damaging winds, but the weather service says an “isolated tornado or two” are possible.
Forecasters say the strength of the storms will depend on how much development occurs Wednesday morning and if clouds and rain curb afternoon heating. The weather service says a lack of heating tomorrow would keep the atmosphere somewhat stable, making severe weather less likely.
Heavy rain is forecast through Friday morning, with three inches possible in places, leading to an increased threat of flash flooding.
