Uh folks, I'm chief meteorologist RB Bobby, the 4029T.com forecast on this Tuesday, April 1st, and we are watching for *** risk of severe storms. Uh, you know, there is potential tonight. It's *** low amount of potential, but it's there, so I have to keep an eye out on things tonight. The greater risk risk seems to come in tomorrow morning and then we can get *** break in the action, uh, later afternoon on Wednesday through Wednesday night before more storms come back in the area Thursday and. May bring with it, uh, additional risk of severe storms as well, particularly, uh, in certain parts of the area. So we're we're gonna talk about all this coming up. Let's take *** look here as we go throughout the evening, it looks great. It's obviously gotten windy as expected. It's warmed up nicely as expected. Everything's pretty much going as expected here, folks, and it looks pretty quiet through, uh, the bulk of our evening. However, we are gonna see, we think, *** few very isolated storms try to break out in central South Oklahoma. Uh, and possibly North Oklahoma, the ones in Central and South Oklahoma. If we get *** couple of those to break out, one or two of them may hold together and, and make *** run at parts of Northwest Arkansas and the river valley, mainly after 10 p.m. It's, it's what we call *** conditional risk of severe weather, conditional on. Whether or not any of these storms can really get going at all because that's not really clear now if they do get going then you know *** lot of the ingredients are there for uh for these things to kind of remain severe, particularly across central and eastern Oklahoma and maybe even in Northwest Arkansas on the River Valley as we go throughout the night, but it's not entirely clear they ever really get started in Oklahoma. And then they may struggle *** little bit as they get closer to our area too. So there's *** lot that's kind of helping us here tonight, but it's, uh, it's not *** wash. we're, we're gonna have to keep ***, keep an eye on things. The greater risk is to our west tonight, no question, but there could be some potential here too, an isolated tornado, hail, uh, maybe some wind, uh, but again, it's, it's *** low risk because it's something we have to watch throughout the night again, mainly after 10 p.m., uh, in Northwest Arkansas and the river valley. The greater potential for showers and storms really breaking out in the area and and getting in will be tomorrow morning after 4 or 5 a.m. That's when you start to see better potential in Northwest Arkansas, especially, but in the river valley too. And some of those tomorrow morning could also pose *** severe risk, more more of *** hail risk than anything, but you know, *** brief tornado, some strong winds, those can't be ruled out either. So, uh, the, the greatest potential does seem to be in the morning, right around that morning commute, um, some cases *** little bit before for some folks and maybe *** little after for others, but, uh, right around that, uh, 5678 a.m. time frame. Uh, we've got some, some of the best chances. So we'll be keeping *** close eye on there too. And even tomorrow morning, even though the chances is *** little bit higher, I don't know that everybody gets in on the rain though everyone could use that rain. We don't want the severe weather, but the rains could be, uh, would be nice. The thing about it is, folks. I wouldn't worry about not getting enough rain this week. It'll be the opposite problem, I think, by the time we get toward the end of the week. But anyway, uh, tomorrow morning it will be spotty to scattered across the area, and then we'll still have to kind of keep an eye on things up to about 23, even 4 p.m., mainly east of Fort Smith, east of Fayetteville. Might be another isolated, uh, shower storm that gets going, maybe gets *** little bit severe, though it looks like by mid-afternoon, mid to late afternoon. Really this is all off to our east in the central and east Arkansas. They're gonna get hammered again. It looks like Wednesday and Wednesday evening unfortunately for those folks, uh, who've already gotten hit so hard, especially in northeast Arkansas so far this year. Now, uh, you can see how much we warm up. Wednesday afternoon, still very, uh, breezy, uh, mid to upper 70s, Northwest Arkansas, I think low 80s actually for highs in the river valley. Um, so really warms up nicely tomorrow mid-afternoon, tomorrow evening. I mean, look great, great weather, as you'll, you'll love it. Uh, now once we get into Thursday morning after that break Wednesday night, well, here comes the next round of showers and storms. Thursday in northwest Arkansas right now it looks like we're gonna have some pretty good chances of rain, but I don't see much of *** severe risk, uh, getting going again. South of Fayette, Fayetteville and southward, we'll say Fayetteville and southward, that risk does seem to be there, but it's, it's really *** little greater once you get down to the I-40 corridor and south from there as far as Thursday is concerned. So we'll be keeping *** very close eye on that. So severe days are in place basically tonight through uh early tomorrow afternoon in Northwest Arkansas and the river valley. Uh, and then Thursday is *** severe day in the river valley, but not in Northwest Arkansas because again, look at these temperatures in NWA, particularly chilly. I mean, it's *** little cool in the river valley, but of course it is in the morning there Thursday when we get some, some more, some of this additional really intense activity, but there's just *** little bit more stability. Even if it's not necessarily the surface, it's elevated in the river valley Thursday morning, and, and so that's why we've got the severe day for for Thursday in the river valley. So we'll watch that pretty carefully as well. Either way, more good chances of rain, um, and then we'll watch Thursday afternoon for some spotting activity. Again, you can see temperatures don't warm *** lot warm up *** lot in NWA, but in the river valley, we get in the 60s to around 70s, so. Maybe some additional isolated strong activity Thursday afternoon, Thursday evening in the river valley, uh, which is again why we've got the severe day there. Now once we get into Friday, we all get more rounds of rain and storms. severe risk comes back up for all of us on Friday. And so Friday is also *** severe day. And then Friday we start to get all this, we get *** lot more rain and the flooding risk starts to come up by Friday. I don't see *** ton of flooding risk before Friday, but *** little bit mainly in the river valley. By Friday, the flooding risk is starting to come up for all of us and by Saturday it's there for all of us for sure. We're getting multiple rounds here. And the first few rounds are kind of spotty to scattered, but once we get into Friday and Saturday, it's widespread stuff and it's really heavy and, and that's after the rain we've already gotten and so by Friday and Saturday, the flooding risk looks to be at, uh, at its highest. And so we'll be watching mainly for that by the time we get into the weekend. Now we're gonna talk more about all this we've got *** lot more to discuss including. Whether we might see *** few snowflakes in NWA at some point in here, uh, when all of us could see *** frost or freeze, colder air coming in behind the system. We're talking more about the weekend. We've got *** lot more to cover. Hope you can enjoy us. Coming up the seat 456, and 10 on 4029, of course, at 9 p.m. on the CW.
