In addition to heat and humidity, some isolated to scattered storms will be possible across northern Arkansas this afternoon and evening. The main hazards with storms will include hail and strong to damaging wind gusts. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday Oppressive conditions will continue on Independence Day. Afternoon temperatures will top out in the 90s, and maximum heat index values will range from 100 to 115 degrees. Chances of showers and thunderstorms will increase Thursday night into Friday as a cold front arrives from the north. Any severe weather will be spotty, with strong to damaging wind the main concern. Localized flash flooding is also possible. Many folks will be celebrating July 4th outdoors, and the weather is a major concern given heat, thunderstorms, and lightning. People are advised to play it safe and monitor conditions closely during the holiday. Slightly cooler, drier, and more seasonal air is in the forecast this weekend. Thunderstorms will become more isolated as well. Another cold front will push into the state from the Plains early next week. The front is expected to stall across the area, and will trigger scattered thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will remain seasonal. .Spotter Information Statement...
