Weekend weather update

Saturday was abit cool and with the clouds, it didn't seem much like Spring.  I even heard someone say that today(Sunday) was the first day of Spring, eventhough Friday was.  Today sure seemed like the first day of Spring characteristic wise.

To start off the week well have mild temperatures in the lower 70's.  A cold front developing in the plains will start to move east.  It's looking like all the conditiuons are favorable for a severe weather event.

This is a look at the National Strom Prediction Centers assessment of the convective outlook for Monday.  There is a moderate risk for Southern Kansas and Northern Oklahoma.  Any moderate risk means the strong likelyhood for severe t'storms, hail, and several tornadoes.  

What does that mean for us?  The line will be moving in a southeasterly direction Monday night into Tuesday.  We will see the front push through our area Tuesday afternoon.  I'm expecting most of the severe weather to have died down, but there is a slight chance for a severe t'storm or some damaging winds here in central Arkansas.  Tune in tomorrow at 5, I'll have the latest.
