Already this morning a few severe thunderstorm warnings have been
issued for portions of southeast Ar stretching into the Delta as 
heavy downpours and hail have impacted the region. As a surface 
low track through the northern half of our area showers and 
thunderstorms will be a common occurrence throughout the day for 
areas north of I-20. In addition there remains a Marginal risk for
isolated severe storms and a limited flash flooding threat for 
areas across the Pine Belt as better moisture, instability and

environment that could see possible storm training this afternoon
