.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 158 AM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

To begin the period, showers and thunderstorms will continue to wrap
up with clearing skies likely to continue overnight. With that said,
patchy-dense fog will be possible across portions of the state where
winds go calm and skies clear. The best chance for dense fog appears
to be for portions of central and northern Arkansas where the
heaviest rain fell Friday.

The pattern will continue to be active through the weekend and into
early next week as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms
affect the state.

Saturday is expected to be primarily a large hail, and possibly
damaging wind threat during the evening and into the overnight hours
as pop-up storms moves across the western half of the state. Sunday
looks to be fairly calm across much of the state with some showers
and thunderstorms tracking across mainly northern Arkansas.

Monday will be the next chance for widespread severe weather as a
warm front lifts north of the state as a cold front tracks through
leaving most of the state within the warm sector. This will also
bring the best chance for tornado chances across any of the upcoming
severe weather days. With that said, large hail and damaging wind
gusts will also be possible. Then finally, we will wrap up this
active weather pattern with another round of thunderstorms Tuesday
afternoon and evening.

In summary, an active weather pattern will continue across the
Natural State through at least Tuesday bring the chance for strong
to severe thunderstorms. On a positive note, with the unsettled
weather pattern over the state through the weekend and into early
next week, much needed rainfall will continue to fall providing some
relief to the ongoing drought across the state.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Apr 25 2026

MVFR cigs in place are slowly improving to VFR across the state
early this afternoon. Will see most terminals improve to VFR
through the afternoon hours with generally E/SE winds up to 10 kts.
Overnight, isolated TS activity expected to develop across
eastern OK by 26/00z will drift E/SE and impact terminals across
western, central and southern AR through 26/12z. KHRO/KBPK are
most likely to avoid impacts from this activity. Most precip
should exit to the SE after 26/12z with mostly VFR conditions
expected near the end of the period.
