Friday afternoon into Friday night will see all modes of severe weather possible with the highest threat for large hail and damaging winds, but a tornado or two can't be ruled out.
Chances for showers and a few thunderstorms will continue overnight into Friday morning, with the best chances again over northern and northwest sections.
Several rounds of rainfall will remain possible tonight through the weekend, into Tuesday afternoon. Rainfall amounts could exceed 4 inches in some areas across portions of western Arkansas.
On This Day In Arkansas Weather History... The start of a week long tornado outbreak began with Arkansas getting hit by several tornadoes on April 25th, with additional tornadoes occurring the next day. On the 25th, major damage was seen at Vilonia, where a long track EF2 was seen (sadly, another stronger EF4 tornado would just occur 3 yrs later nearly to the day), with an EF2 tornado hitting the Little Rock AFB, and the strongest EF3 near Fountain Lake.
