The National Weather Service has issued a "Moderate Risk" (which on the threat scale is a 4/5) for strong to severe thunderstorms, implying that this could potentially be bigger than we previously anticipated the event could be. The Magnolia region and far southwest Arkansas has been included in the high risk outlook. Main concerns with the thunderstorms that move through the area tomorrow afternoon include the real threat for tornadoes, damaging winds in excess of 80 miles per hour or higher, hail possibly higher than quarter to half dollar size in diameter and the potential for flash flooding in some parts of the area where storms train.
***Just because the rest of the state went to orange just means the risk area for our area has increased because of the issuing of a higher alert level, it does not indicate a lower threat risk*** Timing: At this particular point in time the main concern window for tomorrow is expected to be between 8pm to 2 am early Saturday morning. Stay tuned, and please share this post to help spread the word about the potential severe weather outbreak.
