ARKANSAS, USA — A Tornado Watch has been issued for portions of west, central and north Arkansas until 2 a.m.

This means some severe storms may be capable of producing tornadoes, some of which may be strong.

Stay weather aware tonight as the chance of strong to severe storms continues across Arkansas.

Overnight there is still the chance of a tornado, but this should be more of the weak brief tornadoes embedded within the line of storms. 

Pockets of damaging wind gusts of 55-70 mph will also be possible along the line of storms through the night.

The tornado threat is much lower for areas southeast of the Little Rock metro since the wind shear and storm fuel will not be as high.

Remember, a tornado can happen without warning if a severe thunderstorm warning is issued.

The severe weather threat will be over by sunrise on Monday, but rain and thunder could linger through most of Monday morning.

The THV11 Weather Team is watching the weather situation very closely and will keep you informed through the day!

Make sure to download the THV11 app and stay tuned to the changing conditions.
