Some isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will remain possible into this evening. The best chances for seeing any severe weather will be across portions of central into northern Arkansas.
Additional thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and into this evening. Large hail will be the primary threat, with hailstones the size of golf balls or larger possible, but some damaging winds and a brief tornado will also be possible.
On April 15-16, 1939, a tornado outbreak affected southern and eastern Arkansas. This was part of a larger outbreak that extended from the Great Plains through the Mississippi Valley. In Arkansas, there were nine tornadoes reported. 30 people were killed, most of them (27) in Drew County.
The latest drought monitor is in and all of the state remains is some sort of drought resignation with a slight expansion of D4 intensity. Please note that this does not take into account the rain that fell Wednesday night night and Thursday morning.
