Arkansas Braces for Stormy Weekend with Hail and Showers Expected

A cold front is expected to bring in storms with the chance of strong to severe weather, including big hail and even a tornado or two. The exact location of where these storms form will be uncertain, but the best chance for a storm will be the farther east you go. The potential for severe weather is there all the way up and down the I-49 corridor in NWA, and from around Ft. Smith & Van Buren, but especially east of these areas. The severe weather should be mostly isolated to just 1pm-6pm on Saturday, before exiting into central Arkansas by the evening.
