Tornado Watch Summary
Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase this evening across northern and central Arkansas. A strongly unstable airmass is in place, with strong deep-layer vertical shear over the region as well. The environmental conditions will support the development of supercells capable of all severe hazards, including large hail and tornadoes. Strengthening low-level flow over the next few hours could result in an environment that supports strong to intense tornadoes.
