Much of Arkansas faces a risk for storms to turn severe Sunday, the National Weather Service's North Little Rock office said.
According to the latest advisory, most of the state is included in at least a marginal threat for severe weather. The state’s northwest is listed in a slight risk.
North Little Rock meteorologist Sean Clarke said damaging winds and large hail are the primary threats as storms move through the state Sunday afternoon and into the evening hours. Isolated tornadoes are also possible.
Straight-line winds could be in excess of 60 mph, Clarke said.
Between 1 to 2 inches of rain is forecast, and the flash flooding threat will increase where rainfall totals are higher, the weather service said.
