Hazardous Weather Outlook For HEMPSTEAD County,AR 546 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024 DAY ONE Today and tonight. A weak cool front is drifting toward our I-30 corridor and could help to develop some isolated thunderstorms later this morning and through the afternoon and until about sunset down along I-20. The only real threat would be some lightning. So if thunder roars, go indoors season is upon us once again. Overnight should be quiet area wide. No other hazardous weather is expected with this weak front. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN Thursday through Tuesday. Severe thunderstorm activity will make a return to our Four-State area late on Friday afternoon and evening. Some isolated activity may continue overnight and into early Saturday with large hail the primary threat. This second push of the Westerlies will weaken as an upper level ridge blocks from the eastern seaboard. Finally, a third frontal boundary late this weekend will be a little stronger and boost our chances for severe weather. More organized areas of thunderstorms with some severe activity will become likely Sunday afternoon, evening and overnight into early next week. Damaging winds will be possible with any bowing thunderstorm segments along with some large hail. A brief and very isolated tornado could possibly occur if a squall line can advance into our area before the upper low lifts too far away early Monday. This third frontal boundary will also become stationary and wash out in place with scattered showers and thunderstorms continuing into midweek. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT Spotter activation is not expected until late Friday at the earliest and then for more widespread thunderstorms late Sunday and overnight.

(The Weather Channel) ...1908... Severe thunderstorms spawned eighteen tornadoes over across the Central Gulf Coast States claiming the lives of 310 persons. The state of Mississippi was hardest hit.

Some amounts reported from across eastern and central Kentucky include...0.6 inches in Booneville...1.0 inch at Jeremiah...1.2 inches at the Jackson Weather Office...1.5 inches at Cumberland...4.0 inches at Lynch...and 5.0 inches at Closplint.
