THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE SUNDAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM
SYSTEM. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH
WILL BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

SEVERE WEATHER AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED MONDAY INTO
MONDAY EVENING. A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE
OVER THE ARKLAMISS AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT AN INTENSE SQUALL LINE CONTAINING DAMAGING

ACCOMPANY THE FRONT. THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED
TO BE NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR.

QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL RESULTING IN FLOODING OF POOR
DRAINAGE AREAS. PERSONS IN THE ARKLAMISS SHOULD PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
TO THE LATEST FORECASTS AND OUTLOOKS REGARDING THIS STORM SYSTEM.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
