Severe Weather Alert: Arkansas Braces for Storms

Arkansas Faces Increased Risk of Severe Weather on Wednesday, June 18th Arkansas residents should prepare for severe weather this Wednesday, according to Zachary Hall, the Arkansas Storm Tracker. Hall's video forecast, released on June 16th, highlights a level 2 of 5 risk for much of the state, with a particular focus on the potential for strong storms and tornadoes in the north and northeast. He notes that while the forecast will be refined in the coming days, current models suggest the possibility of significant thunderstorm activity, including damaging winds and hail, beginning in the afternoon and continuing into the evening. "I think right now I could argue that northern parts of Central and Northeast Arkansas could also be upgraded to the yellow level 2 of 5 risk before Wednesday gets here," Hall stated in his video. He emphasized the importance of being prepared for the possibility of severe weather, particularly in the northern and northeastern regions of the state.
