South Central and Southwest Arkansas, North Central and Northwest Louisiana, Southeast Oklahoma, and East and Northeast Texas

Today and tonight

Scattered to numerous showers, mainly across Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and extreme Northwest Louisiana, will be available today through tonight. Some of this rainfall could sometimes be heavy, especially across portions of Northeast Texas. NWS is not forecasting any severe weather at this time.

Saturday through Thursday

Showers and thunderstorm chances will continue into the weekend ahead of a solid cold front poised to move into the region during the day on Sunday. At this time, instability does not warrant a widespread severe thunderstorm threat. Areas of prolonged heavy rainfall may result in flash flooding, mainly along and north of the I-30 corridor. The rain will likely only end across the Four-State Region sometime during the day on Tuesday.

SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT
Do not expect spotter activation at this time.

Rain chances today will be highest across the northern half of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma, and adjacent counties in Southwest Arkansas.
