The timing of the second system takes it through Arkansas overnight Wednesday, into early Thursday morning. 

It’s important to stay weather aware and have a couple of different ways of receiving severe weather information in your area. 

Download the THV11 app and under settings, select notification settings. 

Then under Weather, select Severe Weather Alerts. Make sure they are toggled on and watches and warnings are selected. 

Also, it’s a good idea to make sure your NOAA Weather Radio is working properly and you have fresh batteries as a backup in your device.
