Strong to severe storms remain in the forecast through nearly midweek in Arkansas.

Monday and Tuesday have been designated as Arkansas Storm Team Alert Days.

On Monday, April 27, not everyone will see strong to severe storms. Not everyone will even see rain. But if you do see a storm on Monday, that storm will be capable of hail, tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts. This is mainly a late afternoon, evening, and early overnight risk. Some parts of eastern Arkansas may experience storms into early Tuesday morning.

On Tuesday, April 28, the risk of severe weather is more widespread across Arkansas. All severe hazards are possible, including tornadoes, large hail, and damaging wind gusts.

The state needs rain as a dire drought continues, but rain usually comes with strings attached (in the form of storms) in Arkansas in April. After some beneficial rainfall last week and this weekend, through Wednesday, some areas could pick up another inch or two, or more.

After Tuesday, Arkansas has a break from severe storms. Only light rain chances persist into next weekend.
