Only in Arkansas!

This weekend we've enjoyed spring-like temperatures after an epic ice storm just over a week ago.  Now we're talking about severe weather this week.  I guess that's Arkansas weather at it's best.

I've been studying the models from the National Storm Prediction Center in Norman, OK.  They have changed yet again, but are becoming more accurate the closer we get to Monday.  For Monday it looks like any rain we see will be late.  The better chances foir rain will be Tuesday and Wednesday.  Conditions look favorable for sqaull line development in the afternoon on Tuesday and on into Wednesday.  Our main problem here in White County will be lightning and strong winds.  But it looks like an isolated tornado and/or hail can't be totally ruled out of the forecast.    We are still experiencing strong winds.  A Lake Wind Advisory remains in effect until 6pm tomorrow.  Any storms we see tomorrow could have strong wind gusts.  We'll have more to say about the strong winds and severe weather on the show tomorrow.  It's our first live show of the semester.  I'm excited about it!!  Be sure to tune in at 5pm!  And if you miss it, it re-airs at 10pm.
